PER CURIAM

Laurie and Ira Foote appeal the district court’s order dismissing with prejudice their action under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983; 42 U.S.C.A. § 1985; and 42 U.S.C.A. § 1986 (West Supp. 1998), and dismissing without prejudice any state supplemental claims. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Foote v. Barton , No. CA-98-117-1 (W.D.N.C. Nov. 2, 1998). In addition, we have reviewed the record and find the pleadings do not set forth a claim for denial of equal protection.

See Sylvia Dev. Corp. v. Calvert County, Md. , 48 F.3d 810, 819 (4th Cir. 1995). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED
