PER CURIAM:
Thomas Prieto appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice his
civil action because no certification as required by Rule 9(j) of the North Carolina Rules
of Civil Procedure was included in the pleadings. We have reviewed the record and find
no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.
Prieto v. Tripp, No. 5:17-ct-03234-D (E.D.N.C. May 24, 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
