Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

      John Merritt James appeals the district court’s order adopting the magistrate

judge’s recommendation to dismiss his civil complaint for lack of subject matter

jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. James v. West Va. Supreme Court of

Appeals, No. 2:16-cv-03926 (S.D.W. Va. Sept. 26, 2018).          We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                             AFFIRMED

                                            2
