PER CURIAM:
Giraud Howard Hope appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action
for failure to state a claim. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Hope v. Dep’t of Health
& Human Servs., No. 3:20-cv-00068-RJC-DSC (W.D.N.C. June 17, 2020). 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
