                               2
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    allegations   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
