PER CURIAM: Henry V. Heard appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Heard v. Kelly, No. 3:25-cv-00651-DJN (E.D. Va. Sep. 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
