PER CURIAM:

            Douglas Patterson appeals the district court’s order

dismissing     without    prejudice            his   employment       discrimination

complaint     under   Fed.    R.    Civ.       P.    12(b)(5)   for    insufficient

service of process.          We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error.       Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court.             Patterson v. Napolitano, No. 5:11-cv-

00123-BO    (E.D.N.C.    Mar.      5,   2012).         We   dispense     with   oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

                                                                            AFFIRMED
