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
