PER CURIAM:

Samuel T. Whatley, II, appeals the district court’s order accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing without prejudice Whatley’s civil

complaint for lack of standing and lack of subject matter jurisdiction. * We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s

judgment. Whatley v. Charleston Cnty. Bd. of Elections, No. 2:23-cv-00833-RMG (D.S.C.

June 13, 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 is a final, appealable order because the court did not grant Whatley leave to amend his complaint. Britt v. DeJoy,

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