USCA4 Appeal: 26-1087 Doc: 5 Filed: 03/31/2026 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Clarence B. Jenkins, Jr., appeals the district court’s order accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing Jenkins’s employment-related action without prejudice and without issuance and service of process. * See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B).

Jenkins also appeals the district court’s text order denying his motions for reconsideration.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. Jenkins v. Off. of S.C. Governor, No. 3:25-cv-07256-JDA (D.S.C. Dec. 8 & 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

* The order is final and appealable because the district court did not grant Jenkins leave to amend his complaint. See Britt v. DeJoy, 45 F.4th 790, 796 (4th Cir. 2022) (en banc) (order).
