USCA4 Appeal: 25-6368 Doc: 30 Filed: 04/30/2026 Pg: 3 of 3

PER CURIAM: Trevor Andrew Jones appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motions to dismiss and denying relief on Jones’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to state a claim. We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. Defendants moved to strike Jones’s informal brief as untimely filed and to dismiss the appeal. We deny that motion. Jones has moved for appointment of counsel and to vacate this Court’s order substituting the current director of the Virginia Department of Corrections as a Defendant. We deny those motions. We affirm the district court’s order. Jones v. Frost, No. 7:23-cv-00277-JPJ-PMS (W.D. Va. Mar. 31, 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
