PER CURIAM:

Samuel T. Whatley, II, appeals the district court’s order accepting the 

recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting T-Mobile USA, Inc.’s motion to 

compel arbitration in Whatley’s civil action. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error in the court’s determination that the arbitration agreement was valid and 

covered the relevant dispute. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Whatley v. 

T-Mobile USA, Inc., No. 2:23-cv-01339-RMG (D.S.C. May 8, 2024). 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
