PER CURIAM:
This is an appeal from the district court’s order
denying a motion to lift the stay imposed in the underlying
Receivership. We have reviewed the record included on appeal,
as well as the parties’ briefs, and find no abuse of discretion
by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons
stated by the district court. Belsome v. Burks, No. 3:12-cv-
00800-GCM (W.D.N.C. Dec. 30, 2013). 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
