PER CURIAM:
The Appellants in these consolidated appeals seek to appeal
the district court’s orders affirming the bankruptcy court’s
orders dismissing each of the three underlying adversary
proceedings for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Because we
find that the proceedings were not “related to” the Chapter 11
bankruptcy case in which they were filed, see Valley Historic
Ltd. P’ship v. Bank of N.Y., 486 F.3d 831, 835 (4th Cir. 2007),
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.
Grathwol v. Coastal Carolina Developers, Inc.; Ann F. Grathwol
Living Trust v. Coastal Carolina Developers, Inc.; Legacy Group
of NC, Inc. v. Coastal Carolina Developers, Inc., Nos. 7:14-cv-
00082-F; 7:14-cv-00083-F; 7:14-cv-00084-F (E.D.N.C. Jan. 12,
2015). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately addressed in the materials
before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
