PER CURIAM:
Livia Properties, II, LLC, (“Livia”) appeals the district
court’s order dismissing its civil complaint for failure to
state a claim. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). We agree with the
district court that Livia failed to allege that Jones Lang
LaSalle Americas, Inc., was acting outside the scope of its
agency relationship with Comcast, which deficiency is fatal to
both of Livia’s claims. See Charles E. Brauer Co. v.
NationsBank of Va., N.A., 466 S.E.2d 382, 387 (Va. 1996); Fox v.
Deese, 362 S.E.2d 699, 708 (Va. 1987). Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s judgment. Livia Props., II, LLC v. Jones
Lang LaSalle Ams., Inc., No. 5:14-cv-00053-DAF (W.D. Va. Aug. 7,
2015). 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
