PER CURIAM:
Azadeh Chegini seeks to appeal the district court’s orders dismissing her civil
action arising out of her default on her home mortgage. Before addressing the merits of
Chegini’s appeal, we first must be assured that we have jurisdiction. Porter v. Zook,
803
F.3d 694, 696 (4th Cir. 2015). We find that we lack jurisdiction to review the district
court’s November 2017 dismissal order because Chegini designated only the district
court’s May 2018 dismissal order in her notice of appeal, in contravention of Fed. R. Civ.
P. 3(c)(1)(B), causing one Defendant to receive no notice of her appeal. See Jackson v.
Lightsey,
775 F.3d 170, 176-77 (4th Cir. 2014). Accordingly, we dismiss Chegini’s
appeal as to the November 2017 dismissal order.
However, because the remaining Defendants received notice of Chegini’s appeal
and have had an opportunity to brief all of the issues in this case, Chegini’s failure to
designate the March 2018 dismissal order in her notice of appeal did not prejudice them.
Thus we may review this order in addition to the May 2018 dismissal order. See
id.
Having reviewed the record, we find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. Chegini v. Harborview Mortg. Loan Tr., No. 1:17-cv-
00927-TSE-TCB (E.D. Va. Mar. 6, 2018 & May 31, 2018). 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.
DISMISSED IN PART;
AFFIRMED IN PART
