PER CURIAM: Matthew Douglas Messer appeals the district court’s dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to prosecute under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.

Messer v. Bunting, No. 5:22-ct-03065-BO (E.D.N.C. Jan. 24, 2023). 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
