PER CURIAM:

Najia Rahmani appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motion to

dismiss and dismissing her complaint with prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the

district court’s order, Rahmani v. Rucker, No. 1:24-cv-01047-MSN-LRV (E.D. Va. July

30, 2024), as modified to reflect that the dismissal of Rahmani’s claim is without prejudice,

see S. Walk at Broadlands Homeowner’s Ass’n, Inc. v. OpenBand at Broadlands, LLC,

713 F.3d 175, 185

(4th Cir. 2013) (“A dismissal for lack of . . . subject matter jurisdiction

. . . must be one without prejudice, because a court that lacks jurisdiction has no power to

adjudicate and dispose of a claim on the merits.”). 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.
