2 PER CURIAM:

Kayie Shaune DeVore Wright appeals the district court’s orders dismissing his

42 U.S.C. § 1983

complaint under

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(e)(2)(B), and denying his Fed. R. Civ. P.

59(e) motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. * Wright v. United

States, No. 1:19-cv-00146-FDW (W.D.N.C. Apr. 6 & June 2, 2020). 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

* Even if we consider Wright’s challenge to prison strip searches as arising under the Eighth Amendment, rather than the Fourth Amendment, he failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.
