PER CURIAM:

Plaintiffs appeal the district court’s order denying their 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(d) request, and granting summary judgment in 

favor of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and MetLife Group, 

Inc., on Plaintiffs’ claims, brought pursuant to the Telephone 

Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C.A. § 227 (West 2014 & Supp. 

2016), and the Maryland Telephone Consumer Protection Act, Md. 

Code Ann., Com. Law §§ 14-3201 to 14-3202 (West 2013). We have 

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, 

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Jay 

Clogg Realty Grp., Inc. v. Metro. Life Ins. Co., No. 8:15-cv00493-DKC (D. Md. Mar. 8, 2016; May 2, 2016). 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
