PER CURIAM:
Ken Gryder appeals the district court’s order dismissing, without prejudice,*
Gryder’s complaint alleging, in part, that Defendants violated federal whistleblower
protection statutes. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Gryder v. Concept
Plus, LLC, No. 1:21-cv-00261-LMB-MSN (E.D. Va. Mar. 5, 2021). 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
* Because Gryder cannot save his action by merely amending his complaint,
the order dismissing the complaint without prejudice is final and appealable. See Martin
v. Duffy, 858 F.3d 239, 246 (4th Cir. 2017).
