UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 20-1887 NORMAN GATEWOOD, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. SONY CORPORATION OF AMERICA, Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Frank D. Whitney, District Judge. (3:19-cv-00087-FDW-DCK) Submitted: December 17, 2020 Decided: December 21, 2020 Before THACKER, HARRIS, and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Norman Gatewood, Appellant Pro Se. Jonathan Andrew David, Gregory Scott Gewirtz, LERNER, DAVID, LITTENBERG, KRUMHOLZ & MENTLIK, LLP, Cranford, New Jersey, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Norman Gatewood appeals the district court’s order granting Sony Corporation of America’s (“Sony”) renewed motion to dismiss Gatewood’s second amended complaint purporting to allege a copyright infringement claim against Sony. We have reviewed the record and discern no error by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. See Gatewood v. Sony Corp. of Am., No. 3:19-cv-00087-FDW-DCK (W.D.N.C. July 27, 2020). 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.
