PER CURIAM: John R. Dantzler and Octavia S. Dantzler appeal the district court’s order dismissing their civil action and denying them permission to file an amended complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Dantzler v. Miyares, No. 3:25-cv-00059-DJN (E.D. Va. May 22, 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
