PER CURIAM:
Appellants, North Carolina Coalition for Israel, Kathryn Wolf, Rabbi Jerome Fox,
and Perri Shalom-Liberty, appeal the district court’s order accepting the recommendation
of the magistrate judge and dismissing their complaint for lack of subject-matter
jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. N.C. Coal. for Isr. v. City of Durham,
No. 1:19-cv-00309-LCB-JLW (M.D.N.C. Nov. 25, 2019). 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
