PER CURIAM:
Dr. S. Douglas Taylor appeals the district court’s March
19, 2014 grant of the respective motions to dismiss filed by the
defendants, the United States and Health Net Federal Services,
LLC. After carefully reviewing the district court’s opinion,
the record, the briefs submitted by the parties, and the
applicable law, we affirm for the reasons set forth in the
convincingly written opinion of the district court. Taylor v.
United States, No. 7:11-cv-268-FL (E.D.N.C. March 19, 2014). 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
