PER CURIAM:

      David Kirkwood appeals the district court’s orders granting Capital Synergy

Partners motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and Financial West

Investment’s motion to compel arbitration. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.

Kirkwood v. Fin. West. Inv., No. 1:17-cv-02005-CCB (D. Md. Nov. 17, 2017; Oct. 3,

2019). 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
