PER CURIAM:
Acting pro se and on behalf of her minor son, Tigress Sydney Acute McDaniel
filed in the district court a civil action alleging claims under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985
(2012), the Americans With Disabilities Act, and the Rehabilitation Act. The district
court sua sponte dismissed McDaniel’s complaint, which was filed in forma pauperis, for
failure to state a claim. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) (2012). We have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the
district court. See McDaniel v. Charlotte-Mecklenberg Schs., No. 3:18-cv-00205-FDW-
DCK (W.D.N.C. May 11, 2018). We modify the district court’s judgment, though, to
reflect that the dismissal be without prejudice because McDaniel was not given an
opportunity to respond or amend her complaint before the court’s sua sponte dismissal.
See Thomas v. Salvation Army S. Terr., 841 F.3d 632, 642 (4th Cir. 2016). 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.
