PER CURIAM:
Adrienne Richardson appeals the district court’s order
granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss her complaint. In her
complaint, Richardson alleged that Midland Funding LLC and
Midland Credit Management, Inc., violated the Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1692-1692p (“FDCPA”), the
Maryland Consumer Debt Collection Act, Md. Code Ann., Com. Law,
§§ 14-201 to -204, and the Maryland Consumer Protection Act, Md.
Code Ann., Com. Law, §§ 13-101 to -501.
We have considered the parties’ arguments and have
reviewed the district court’s order de novo. See Aziz v.
Alcolac, Inc.,
658 F.3d 388, 391 (4th Cir. 2011). Having found
no reversible error, we affirm the district court’s order. See
Richardson v. Midland Funding LLC, No. 1:13-cv-01356-CCB (D. Md.
Dec. 18, 2013); see also Harvey v. Great Seneca Fin. Corp.,
453
F.3d 324, 331-33 (6th Cir. 2006) (rejecting argument that a debt
collection lawsuit filed “without the immediate means of proving
the existence, amount, or true owner of the debt is deceptive”
under the FDCPA, and dismissing plaintiff’s allegation that
defendant violated the FDCPA when she “never denied in her
complaint that she owed [defendant] a debt, nor did she claim
[defendant] misstated or misrepresented the amount that she
owed”). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the material
2
before this Court and argument will not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
