PER CURIAM: Mike Webb appeals the district court’s order dismissing his second amended complaint for failure to comply with the court’s instructions to particularize his claims and for failure to state a claim, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), and the court’s order denying his request for default judgment. We have reviewed Webb’s second amended complaint and conclude that the district court correctly found that Webb failed to provide specific factual allegations in support of his claims. Furthermore, while Webb argues on appeal that the district court erred in denying his request for default judgment against three of the Defendants, the court properly denied Webb’s request on the ground that those Defendants were never served. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). Accordingly, we affirm. Webb v. Kimmel, No. 3:22-cv-00392-MHL (E.D. Va. May 3, 2023; May 18, 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
