CONTINENTAL CASUALTY COMPANY, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. GARGOYLES, INC.; John F. Curran, III, Defendants-Appellants.
    No. 17-1618
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: October 25, 2017
    Decided: November 2, 2017
    John F. Curran, III, Appellant Pro Se. Ashley Elisabeth Eiler, John E. Howell, William E. Smith, WILEY REIN, LLP, Washington, DC, for Appellee.
    Before KING, SHEDD, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.
   Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Proceeding pro se, John F. Curran, III, seeks to appeal on behalf of himself and Gargoyles, Inc., the district court’s order denying his post-judgment motion to vacate judgment and stay proceedings against Gargoyles, Inc. Curran has also moved on appeal to stay proceedings and represent Gargoyles, Inc. However, Gargoyles, Inc., may only proceed in federal court through licensed counsel. See Rowland v. Cal. Men’s Colony, Unit II Men’s Advisory Council, 506 U.S. 194, 201-03, 113 S.Ct. 716, 121 L.Ed.2d 656 (1993); In re Under Seal, 749 F.3d 276, 290 n.17 (4th Cir. 2014). We therefore dismiss the appeal as to Gargoyles, Inc. As to Curran, we have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny his pending motions and affirm the district court’s order. See Continental Cas. Co. v. Gargoyles, Inc., No. 1:14-cv-01183-JFM (D. Md. May 2, 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.

DISMISSED IN PART; AFFIRMED IN PART
