UNPUBLISHED

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Anthony John Trenga, District Judge. (1:17-cv-00319-AJT-JFA) Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, TRAXLER, Circuit Judge, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed in part, affirmed in part by unpublished per curiam opinion. Mark Fam, Appellant Pro Se. Nathaniel Patrick Lee, MCGUIREWOODS, LLP, Tysons Corner, Virginia; Andrew Michael Williamson, BLANK ROME LLP, Washington, D.C., for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Mark Fam appeals the district court's order dismissing his amended complaint for failure to state a claim. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). Fam first challenges the transfer of his action from the District Court for the District of Columbia to the District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. However, we do not have jurisdiction to review this transfer because Fam failed to challenge the change of venue in the Eastern District of Virginia. See Brock v. Entre Comput. Ctrs., Inc., 933 F.2d 1253, 1257 (4th Cir. 1991). Accordingly, we dismiss Fam's appeal as to the transfer. With regard to the dismissal of Fam's claims for failure to state a claim, we have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Fam v. Bank of Am., No. 1:17-cv-00319-AJT-JFA (E.D. Va., Oct. 10, 2017). 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.

DISMISSED IN PART;
