Yannick Bopda, Appellant Pro Se. Matthew J. Sharbaugh, MORGAN LEWIS & BOCKIUS, LLP, Washington, D.C., for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 23-2148 Doc: 17 Filed: 02/02/2024 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:

Yannick Bopda appeals the district court’s order granting Appellee’s motion to

compel arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act,

to 402 (FAA), and

dismissing Bopda’s complaint without prejudice pending arbitration. We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error. The Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault

and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021,

to 402 (EFAA), does not apply

retroactively to claims that accrued before its enactment on March 3, 2022, and Bopda’s

other assignments of error are plainly meritless. Accordingly, we deny Bopda’s motion

for injunctive relief pending appeal and affirm the district court’s order. Bopda v. Comcast

of the Dist., LLC, No. 8:22-cv-02889-PJM (D. Md. Sept. 27, 2023). 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
