- 2 - PER CURIAM:

Kess Tani appeals from the district court’s orders

granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants in his action in

which he asserted violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices

Act and other claims arising from the Defendants’ initiation of

foreclosure proceedings. We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinions and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Tani v. Lyman, No. CA-03-2566-CCB (D. Md. Nov. 29, 2004; filed

Mar. 2, 2005 & entered Mar. 3, 2005; May 31, 2005). 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
