UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-1503

RICHARD W. MANN,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

EUROPEAN AMERICAN INVESTMENT BANK AG,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. James A. Beaty, Jr., Senior District Judge. (1:11-cv-00516-JAB-JLW)

Submitted: October 31, 2014 Decided: November 6, 2014

Before WILKINSON, MOTZ, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Raymond A. Knight, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for Appellant. Timothy G. Barber, Antonio E. Lewis, KING & SPALDING, LLP, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Richard W. Mann appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

dismissing the case for lack of personal jurisdiction. On

appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the

Appellant’s brief. See Fed. R. App. P. 28(a)(8); Edwards v.

City of Goldsboro,

, 241 n.6 (4th Cir. 1999)

(stating failure to comply with this rule constitutes

abandonment of appeal). None of the theories asserted in

Appellant’s brief were raised in his objections to the

magistrate judge’s recommendation. Therefore, Appellant has

waived appellate review of these arguments. United States v.

Midgette,

(4th Cir. 2007). Accordingly, we

affirm the district court’s judgment. 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
