WILLIAM T. SIMS,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

UNKNOWN,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Gerald Bruce Lee, District Judge. (1:15-cv-00533-GBL-IDD)

Submitted: February 23, 2016 Decided: February 26, 2016

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

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

William T. Sims, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

William T. Sims appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his complaint without prejudice for failing to comply

with a court order. * We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court. Sims v. Unknown, No. 1:15-cv-00533-GBL-

IDD (E.D. Va. Oct. 21, 2015). We deny Sims’ motion to appoint

counsel and 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 district court dismissed Sims’ complaint without prejudice, we possess jurisdiction over this appeal because the dismissal was based on Sims’ failure to comply with a court order, not on account of a flaw in the complaint. Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392,

10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67

(4th Cir. 1993).
