PER CURIAM:
Veronique K. Pongo and Francisco Avoki appeal the district
court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge, dismissing their complaint filed under the Truth in
Lending Act and the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act,
and declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over their
remaining state law claims. We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant leave to
Appellants to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. Pongo v. Bank of Am., No.
3:14-cv-00020-RJC-DSC (W.D.N.C. Mar. 31, 2015). 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
