PER CURIAM:
Francis Edwin Froelich appeals from the district
court’s order dismissing his amended complaint against The Lewis
Law Firm and Glenn C. Lewis, finding that the claims asserted in
the complaint were barred by an earlier state court decision
addressing the same claims. We have reviewed the record and
the briefs filed by the parties and find no reversible error.
Andrews v. Daw, 201 F.3d 521, 524 (4th Cir. 2000) (providing
standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons
stated by the district court. Froelich v. The Lewis Law Firm,
PC, No. 1:07-cv-01230-CMH-BRP (E.D. Va. filed June 3, 2008;
entered June 5, 2008). 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
