Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Emmanuel Edokobi appeals the district court’s order
granting the motion to dismiss filed by M & M Mortgage Services,
Inc., and Juan Gonzalez and dismissing his complaint against all
Defendants as barred by the doctrine of res judicata. ∗ We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Edokobi
v. M & M Mortg. Servs., Inc., No. 8:13-cv-03707-PWG (D. Md. Oct.
22, 2014). 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
∗
Although the prefiling injunction determination remains
pending in the district court, it appears that the district
court has completed its consideration of the merits of this case
based on its dismissal of Edokobi’s claims. See Ray Haluch
Gravel Co. v. Cent. Pension Fund of the Int’l Union of Operating
Eng’rs & Participating Emp’rs, 134 S. Ct. 773, 779 (2014)
(holding pending motion for attorney’s fees collateral to merits
for finality purposes). We therefore conclude that the district
court’s order dismissing Edokobi’s complaint as barred by res
judicata is final and appealable.
