PER CURIAM:
Willie Joe Williams appeals the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012)
complaint without prejudice.* We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Williams v. Welch,
No. 8:18-cv-02931-DCN (D.S.C. Dec. 12, 2018). 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
* The order is final and appealable because the district court’s grounds for
dismissal indicate that no amendment to the complaint could cure the defects identified in
Williams’ complaint. See Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 623-
24 (4th Cir. 2015).
