Derek N. Jarvis appeals the district court's order granting Contractor Securitas Security's motion to dismiss and dismissing his civil action. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Jarvis v. Contractor Securitas Sec., No. 8:11-cv-00654-AW (D. Md. Feb. 16, 2012). 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
