PER CURIAM:

     Sharon Weer and Thomas Weer appeal the district court’s

order dismissing this action without prejudice because the Weers

failed to timely effect service of process.              We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error.          Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court.            Weer v. Ethicon,

Inc., Nos. 2:13-cv-03792; 2:12-md-02327 (S.D. W. Va. July 23,

2015).     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
