PER CURIAM: Charlie Edward Riddle appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to comply with the court’s order and dismissing his second complaint as duplicative of the first. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Riddle v. McDowell Cnty. Sheriff Dep’t, Nos. 1:24-cv-00265-MR; 1:24-cv-00285-MR (W.D.N.C. Nov. 26, 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
