USCA4 Appeal: 25-6572 Doc: 8 Filed: 09/23/2025 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Quamaine Lee Massey appeals the district court’s order dismissing his amended 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the district court’s determination that the only named defendant, whom the court previously had dismissed from the action with prejudice, was entitled to absolute judicial immunity. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.

Massey v. Whitney, No. 1:25-cv-00144-GCM (W.D.N.C. June 30, 2025). 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
