PER CURIAM:

             Michael E. Kennedy appeals the district court’s order

granting     Chesapeake    Utilities     Corporation’s     motion   to   dismiss

Kennedy’s action alleging violations of the federal Fair Debt

Collections Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1692-1692p (2006), the

Maryland Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Md. Code Ann., Bus.

Reg. § §      7-101 et seq.; Md. Code Ann., Com. Law §§ 14-201 et

seq. (LexisNexis 2005 & Supp. 2010), and Maryland common law.

We   have    reviewed     the   record   and   find   no   reversible     error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.      Kennedy v. Chesapeake Utilities Corp. No. 1:10-cv-02256-

BEL (D. Md. Mar. 8, 2011).               We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented

in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                                         AFFIRMED
