UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 17-1852 GLADSTONE A. DAINTY, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Theodore D. Chuang, District Judge. (8:16-cv-02755-TDC) Submitted: December 28, 2017 Decided: January 9, 2018 Before DUNCAN, THACKER, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Jason A. Ostendorf, LAW OFFICE OF JASON OSTENDORF, LLC, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellant. Virginia W. Barnhart, Sarah E. Meyer, TREANOR POPE & HUGHES, P.A., Towson, Maryland, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Gladstone A. Dainty appeals the district court’s orders granting Wells Fargo Bank’s motion to dismiss and denying Dainty’s motion for reconsideration. We review de novo a district court’s dismissal of a complaint under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), accepting factual allegations in the complaint as true and “drawing all reasonable inferences in [the plaintiff’s] favor.” Mason v. Machine Zone, Inc., 851 F.3d 315, 319 (4th Cir. 2017). We review the denial of Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motions for abuse of discretion. Aikens v. Ingram, 652 F.3d 496, 501 (2011) (en banc). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Dainty v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., No. 8:16-cv-02755-TDC (D. Md. Feb. 24, 2017; July 7, 2017). 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 2
