36 F. App'x 98

William Clayton STANSBURY, Jr., Plaintiff-Appellant, v. MCDONALD’S CORPORATION, Defendant-Appellee, and Timothy Burge, Defendant.

No. 02-1212.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted May 14, 2002.

Decided June 3, 2002.

William Clayton Stansbury, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Joseph John Bottiglieri, Felicity Ann McGrath, Bonner, Kiernan, Tre-bach & Crociata, Washington, D.C., for Appellee.

Before MICHAEL and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

PER CURIAM.

William Clayton Stansbury, Jr. appeals the district court’s order granting Defendant’s motion to dismiss his complaint alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress. We affirm.

We review a district court’s Fed. R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6) dismissal for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted de novo. Flood v. New Hanover County, 125 F.3d 249, 251 (4th Cir.1997). In considering a motion to dismiss, we accept the complainant’s well-pleaded alie-*99gations as true and view the complaint in the light most favorable to the non-moving party. Mylan Labs., Inc. v. Matkari, 7 F.3d 1130, 1134 (4th Cir.1993). Generally, a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim will not be granted unless it is certain the plaintiff could prove no set of facts that would entitle him to relief. Id.

With these standards in mind, we affirm the district court’s order on the reasoning of its memorandum opinion. Stansbury v. McDonald’s Corp., No. CA-01-2249-MJG (D.Md. Jan. 18, 2002). 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.
