PER CURIAM: William Hercules Davis, Jr., appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing Davis’s civil complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Davis v. Goodwin, No. 4:24-cv-00161-M-RJ (E.D.N.C. Nov. 7, 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
