Opinion

No. 07-1158.

Submitted: August 29, 2007.

Decided: November 19, 2007.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Carl Horn, III, Chief Magistrate Judge. (3:05-cv-00373).

James Becker, Appellant Pro Se. Brenda Krebs Orrison, James Alexander Porter, Porter Orrison, LLP., Atlanta, Georgia, for Appellee.

Before TRAXLER, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


James E. Becker, president of Beck Electric Co., Inc., appeals the magistrate judge's order granting in part and denying in part plaintiff's motion for summary judgment on plaintiffs claim for breach of an indemnity agreement, denying plaintiffs motion to strike Becker's affidavit submitted in opposition to the motion for summary judgment, denying Becker's "Motion for Judicial Notice of Adjudicative Facts," and awarding plaintiff attorneys' fees. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the magistrate judge. See New York Marine Gen. his. Co. v. Becker, No. 3:05-cv-00373, 2007 WL 160689 (W.D.N.C. Jan. 16, 2007). 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.

Although plaintiff also brought suit against Beck Electric and Frances and Rachel Loth, a default judgment was entered against the Loths in May 2006, and Beck Electric was dismissed as a party to the appeal in May 2007.

The parties consented to the magistrate judge's jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2000).

AFFIRMED.
