UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 24-6941

LEON JOHNSON,

Plaintiff - Appellant, v.

T. GREEN, Assistant Warden Sussex 1 State Prison; K. MCCOY, Warden of Sussex USCA4 Appeal: 24-6941 Doc: 9 Filed: 03/04/2025 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:

Leon Jermaine Johnson 1 appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants in her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action and denying her motion to appoint counsel. 2 The district court granted summary judgment to Defendants and dismissed Johnson’s claims against Defendants for failure to exhaust her administrative remedies. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Because a dismissal for failure to exhaust should be without prejudice, we modify the district court’s order to reflect dismissal of Johnson’s claims against Defendants without prejudice, and we affirm the order as modified. See Moss v. Harwood, 19 F.4th 614, 623 n.3 (4th Cir. 2021). 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 AS MODIFIED Johnson is transgender and refers to herself using feminine pronouns. We do so also.

The district court also denied Johnson’s motion to amend judgment and motion for declaration for entry of default. Because Johnson does not challenge in her informal brief either of those orders, she has forfeited appellate review of them. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).
