No. 96-2187
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Greenville. Malcolm J. Howard, District Judge. (CA-96-2-4-18-H, CA-96-3-4-18-H, CA-96-18-4-18-H,
CA-96-64-4-18-H, CA-96-80-4-18-H)

Decided:
PER CURIAM:
Appellants appeal from the district court's dismissal of their
civil rights action for failure to state a claim under Fed. R. Civ.
P. 12(b)(6). We affirm.
Appellants challenge, via 42 U.S.C. 1983, 1985, 1986
(1994), the validity of state court repossession proceedings. Lower
federal courts lack jurisdiction to review such challenges even
where it is alleged that the state court's action was unconstitutional. District of Columbia Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S.
462 (1983). Further, all of the named Defendants appear either to
be immune from suit under federal civil rights statutes or are not
state actors. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's dismissal.* 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
