We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny the pending motions and affirm the district court’s orders. See Arroyo v. Pretium Partners LLC, No. 1:24-cv-01075-CCE-JEP (M.D.N.C. Feb. 18, 2025; Mar. 3, 2025; Mar. 27, 2025). 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 4
