USCA4 Appeal: 25-1395 Doc: 16 Filed: 06/01/2026 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Timothy Hardy appeals the district court’s order granting Defendant’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) motion, dismissing his complaint for failure to state a claim, and denying his request for leave to amend his complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in these rulings. See Guerrero v. Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, Inc., 115 F.4th 349, 353 (4th Cir. 2024) (stating standard governing review of dismissal of complaint for failure to state claim on which relief can be granted); Willner v. Dimon, 849 F.3d 93, 114 (4th Cir. 2017) (stating standard governing review of ruling denying request for leave to amend complaint). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Hardy v. Chesapeake Hosp. Auth., No. 2:24-cv-00029-EWH-RJK (E.D. Va. Mar. 13, 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
