PER CURIAM:
Derwin Peterson appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
action without prejudice for failure to comply with the court’s order directing him to file a
third amended complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). We review a district court’s dismissal
under Rule 41(b) for abuse of discretion. Attkisson v. Holder, 925 F.3d 606, 625 (4th Cir.
2019). We have reviewed the record and discern no abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we
affirm. 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
