USCA4 Appeal: 25-6140 Doc: 20 Filed: 05/28/2026 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: James Herman Raynor, Sr., appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) without prejudice for failure to state a claim. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Raynor’s motions for appeal to be granted and remanded, to submit affidavit in support of motion, for writ of mandamus and to file an affidavit, to submit evidence and for evidence retention, to submit evidence and for affidavit for submitting evidence, and for emergency evacuation order, and affirm the district court’s order. Raynor v. Bailey, No. 1:25-cv-00008-LMB-LRV (E.D. Va. Feb. 4, 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
