PER CURIAM: Jonathan James Newell appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(b)(ii). ∗ We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. Newell v. N.C. Indus. Comm’n, No. 5:20-ct-03366-M (E.D.N.C. July 16, 2021). We deny Newell’s petition for an initial hearing en banc. 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

∗ The district court’s dismissal without prejudice is a final, appealable order because the district court dismissed the complaint “without granting leave to amend.” Britt v. DeJoy, 45 F.4th 790, 791, 798 (4th Cir. 2022) (en banc) (published order).
