PER CURIAM:

Michael D. Porter appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

complaint without prejudice pursuant to

(e)(2)(B) for failure to state a

claim. ∗ We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm the district court’s order. Porter v. Lechner, No. 5:23-ct-03148-BO-RJ (E.D.N.C.

Apr. 4, 2024). 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 order dismissing the complaint without prejudice is a final, appealable order because the court did not grant Porter leave to amend. See Britt v. DeJoy,

(4th Cir. 2022) (en banc).
