PER CURIAM: Kelly Harper, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order dismissing with prejudice her 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition in which she challenged the execution of her sentence. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order, Harper v. Warden of SFF Hazelton, No. 5:22-cv-00072- JPB-JPM (N.D.W. Va. July 7, 2022), but modify the order to reflect that the dismissal is without prejudice, see Moss v. Harwood, 19 F.4th 614, 623 n.3 (4th Cir. 2021) (noting district court’s dismissal without prejudice of prisoner’s civil rights claim for failure to exhaust administrative remedies was “[c]onsistent with precedent” and citing cases). We deny Harper’s 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.
