PER CURIAM:
William Whittman appeals the district court’s orders compelling Whittman to
submit some of his claims to arbitration, dismissing his state law claims of conspiracy,
fraud, and bad faith against some Defendants for failure to state a claim, and vacating its
prior order of default judgment against the remaining Defendant and dismissing those
claims. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
Whittman’s motion to clarify and affirm the district court’s orders. Whittman v. United
Auto Care, Inc., No. 1:21-cv-03156-JRR (D. Md. Nov. 2, 2023). 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
