Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

John A. Lane, Appellant Pro Se. Ancil Glenn Ramey, STEPTOE & JOHNSON, Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

John A. Lane, appeals the district court’s order adopting

the magistrate judge’s recommendation to grant the Appellants’

motion to dismiss in this civil case. We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. See Lane v. Wilson, No. CA-04-

1255-2 (S.D.W. Va. Aug. 26, 2005); see also Wilson v. Bernet, ___

S.E.2d ___, 2005 WL 3092265 (W. Va. 2005) (holding that adverse

expert witnesses are entitled to immunity for their testimony and

participation in civil proceedings). 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
