2 USCA4 Appeal: 25-1673 Doc: 13 Filed: 11/04/2025 Pg: 3 of 3

In appeal No. 25-1672, Willena Andrews appeals the district court’s order

dismissing her second amended civil complaint against The Michaels Companies, Inc.

(“Michaels”) for failure to state a claim under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.

Andrews v. The Michaels Cos., No. 3:24-cv-00632-DJN (E.D. Va. Apr. 29, 2025).

In appeal No. 25-1673, Michaels appeals the district court’s determination in a

previous order that Andrews’s operative complaint was not barred by the statute of

limitations. Because we affirm the district court’s dismissal of Andrews’s complaint for

failure to state a claim, we dismiss Michaels’s cross appeal as moot. 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.
