PER CURIAM:
Michael Eugene Owens appeals the district court’s order
denying Owens’ motion to set aside an arbitration award. We
have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. Owens v. Dillard’s, No. 3:14-cv-00433-FDW-DCK (W.D.N.C.
Apr. 13, 2016). We deny Owens’ motions to subpoena for
interrogatories, for production of documents, for a transcript
at Government expense, and for lay and expert witnesses. We
grant Dillard’s motion to strike Owens’ press release and deny
Dillard’s motion for sanctions. 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
