Carissa Eugenia Brown, Henry Brown, Appellants Pro Se.

Before NIEMEYER, THACKER, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

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.
