Washington, D.C., for Appellant Winston Martin Holding Group, LLC.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

          LaJuan F. Martin and Winston Martin Holding Group, LLC (“WMHG”) appeal the

district court’s order denying their motion for summary judgment, granting Defendants’

motion for summary judgment, and entering final judgment in favor of Defendants. We

affirm.

          We review an order granting summary judgment de novo, “drawing reasonable

inferences in the light most favorable to the non-moving party.” Butler v. Drive Auto.

Indus. of Am., Inc., 

, 407 (4th Cir. 2015) (internal quotation marks omitted).

“Summary judgment is proper ‘if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to

any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.’” 

(quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a)). The relevant inquiry is whether the evidence “presents a

sufficient disagreement to require submission to a jury or whether it is so one-sided that

one party must prevail as a matter of law.” McAirlaids, Inc. v. Kimberly-Clark Corp., 

, 310 (4th Cir. 2014) (internal quotation marks omitted).

          Applying these principles to the record before us, we discern no reversible error in

the district court’s conclusion that the parties were precluded from relitigating the issue of

who holds legal title to the disputed piece of property in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. See

Martin v. Winston, No. 8:16-cv-04140-PJM (D. Md. filed July 24, 2017, entered July 25,

2017). Because each of the claims in Martin and WMHG’s complaint relied on the premise

that WMHG holds legal title to the property, and because the Maryland courts have entered

judgment holding that Freddie Winston, Jr., held legal title to the property—a title Winston



                                               2
subsequently conveyed to 9620 Investments, LLC—summary judgment was proper as to

each claim.

       Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
