PER CURIAM: Ateira Ashley appeals the district court’s order dismissing, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 review, Ashley’s civil complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. Ashley v. Johnson C. Smith Univ., No. 3:25-cv-00134-KDB-SCR (W.D.N.C. Apr. 8, 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.
