PER CURIAM:
Carissa Eugenia Brown appeals the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on Brown’s complaint, which
alleged that Defendants violated her constitutional rights by criminally prosecuting her.*
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. As the district court observed,
the majority of Defendants are immune from suit, and Brown’s complaint otherwise fails
to state a claim for relief. Accordingly, we affirm the court’s order. Brown v. United
States, No. 3:22-cv-00617-KDB-WCM (W.D.N.C. May 19, 2023). 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
* Although Henry Brown (“Henry”) is listed as an appellant, the complaint did not
assert any claims on his behalf, and the district court therefore treated Brown as the sole
plaintiff. Neither Brown nor Henry contest this treatment on appeal.
