PER CURIAM:
Keith Campbell appeals the magistrate judge’s order denying his motion to
withdraw the stipulation of dismissal of his negligence action.* After the parties reached
a settlement agreement, Campbell unsuccessfully moved to reopen the case, asserting that
he had felt undue pressure to settle. For the first time on appeal, Campbell challenges the
propriety of comments made by a different magistrate judge during a settlement
conference. This claim is unpreserved and, in any event, lacks evidentiary support.
Because Campbell proffers no viable challenge to the enforceability of the settlement
agreement, we affirm the magistrate judge’s order. See Campbell v. J.C. Penney Corp.,
No. 8:16-cv-03820-WGC (D. Md. Sept. 18, 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
* The parties consented to proceed before a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 636 (2012) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 73.
