PER CURIAM:
Michael C. Worsham appeals from the district court’s order granting summary
judgment in favor of Direct Energy Services, LLC (“Direct Energy”), in his action alleging
violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, several Federal
Communications Commission and Federal Trade Commission regulations, and the
Maryland Telephone Consumer Protection Act, Md. Code Ann., Comm. Law §§ 14-3201
to 14-3202. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Worsham v. Direct Energy, Servs., LLC,
No. 1:20-cv-00193-SAG (D. Md. May 12, 2021). We deny Direct Energy’s motion to
strike Worsham’s reply brief. We deny Worsham’s motion for 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
