PER CURIAM:
Jeremiah Ezekiel Cox appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice
his civil action for failure to comply with a court order. We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. See Attkisson v. Holder, 925 F.3d 606, 625 (4th Cir. 2019)
(discussing relevant factors); Ballard v. Carlson, 882 F.2d 93, 95-96 (4th Cir. 1989)
(applying abuse-of-discretion standard). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by
the district court. Cox v. Smith, No. 3:20-cv-00374-HEH-RCY (E.D. Va. Sept. 14, 2020).
We deny Cox’s request for counsel. 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
