UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 01-1974 CORA HILL, Prophetess, Plaintiff - Appellant, and WORLD DELIVERANCE HEALTH FOUNDATION, INCORPO- RATED; TREE OF LIFE MINISTRIES, Plaintiffs, versus AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (AMA); AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION (AHA); U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES, Office of AIDS Research, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle Dis- trict of North Carolina, at Durham. Paul Trevor Sharp, Magistrate Judge. (CA-00-182-1) Submitted: October 4, 2001 Decided: October 11, 2001 Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Cora Hill, Appellant Pro Se. Brenda Straub McClearn, SHARPLESS & STAVOLA, P.A., Greensboro, North Carolina; Robert Joseph Morris, SMITH, ANDERSON, BLOUNT, DORSETT, MITCHELL & JERNIGAN, Raleigh, North Carolina; John Warren Stone, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Cora Hill appeals the magistrate judge’s orders* granting the Defendants’ motions to dismiss this action alleging that the De- fendants “torted” the general public by leading it to believe that there was no hope for those afflicted with HIV/AIDS. We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Hill v. American Med. Ass’n, No. CA-00-182-1 (M.D.N.C. Nov. 20, 2000 & June 12, 2001). 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 * The parties consented to the exercise of jurisdiction by a magistrate judge. 2
