PER CURIAM: Taurean Small appeals the district court’s order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing his civil action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Small v. FTC, No. 5:25-cv-00239-FL-RJ (E.D.N.C. Oct. 10, 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
