PER CURIAM:
David Kirkwood appeals the district court’s orders granting Capital Synergy
Partners motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and Financial West
Investment’s motion to compel arbitration. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.
Kirkwood v. Fin. West. Inv., No. 1:17-cv-02005-CCB (D. Md. Nov. 17, 2017; Oct. 3,
2019). 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
