PER CURIAM: Bryant E. Davis appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and state law claims. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

The court’s dismissal of some claims for lack of personal jurisdiction, however, should have been 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). We therefore modify that portion of the district court’s order to reflect that the dismissal is without prejudice and affirm the dismissal as modified. See 28 U.S.C. § 2106. We affirm the remainder of the district court’s order. Davis v. Horton, No. 1:23-cv-00078-PJM (D. Md. filed Feb. 27, 2024, & entered Feb. 28, 2024). We also deny Davis’s motion to rescind his payments pursuant to the Prison Litigation Reform Act. 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.
