PER CURIAM:
Anthony Zappin appeals the district court’s order accepting the magistrate judge’s
recommendation to grant Defendants’ motion to dismiss Zappin’s legal malpractice claim
and for a prefiling injunction against Zappin. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Zappin v. Carey,
Douglas, Kessler, & Ruby, PLLC, No. 2:22-cv-00292 (S.D.W. Va. Aug. 30, 2023). We
deny as moot Defendants’ motion to dismiss Zappin’s appeal for failure to prosecute. 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
