PER CURIAM:
Soledad Lopez De Avilez and Mateo Avilez Duarte appeal
the district court’s order dismissing their petition with
respect to real property subject to an order of forfeiture and
entering a final order of forfeiture. The district court
dismissed the petition as a sanction for failure to comply with
a court order compelling discovery. We have reviewed the briefs
and the relevant portions of the record and find no abuse of
discretion by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm for
the reasons stated by the district court. United States v.
Avilez, No. 7:08-cr-00028-D-1 (E.D.N.C. July 29, 2011). 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
