PER CURIAM: Matthew Budney appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to review, construed by the district court as a motion under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 60(b).

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Budney v. Huneycutt, No. 1:21-cv-00062-MR (W.D.N.C. Mar. 11, 2024). We also deny Budney’s motion for a preliminary injunction. 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
