PER CURIAM:
Charles Gabriel appeals the district court’s orders dismissing his civil action and
denying his motion to file an amended complaint. To the extent Gabriel sought to challenge
the result of a state foreclosure action, the district court concluded that it lacked subject
matter jurisdiction pursuant to the Rooker-Feldman * doctrine. The court further concluded
that Gabriel’s claims that survived Rooker-Feldman failed to state a plausible claim for
relief and that amendment would be futile because Gabriel’s amended complaint similarly
failed to state a plausible claim for relief. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we grant Gabriel’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis,
and we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Gabriel v. Frye, No. 1:18-cv-
00354-TDS-LPA (M.D.N.C. Jan. 8, 2019 & May 21, 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
