PER CURIAM:
Jimmie Echols appeals the district court’s order accepting
the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing his civil
action as barred by the doctrine of res judicata. We have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
for the reasons stated by the district court. See Echols v.
Sheriff of Bertie Cnty., No. 2:14-cv-00033-FL (E.D.N.C. filed
Sept. 30, 2015; entered Oct. 1, 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
