PER CURIAM:
Thurmond R. Guess, Sr., appeals the district court’s order accepting in part the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing without prejudice Guess’s 42
U.S.C. § 1983 complaint, and a subsequent order denying Guess’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e)
motion for reconsideration.* We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. Guess v. Coble, No. 3:24-cv-00068-
MGL (D.S.C. Aug. 22, 2024; Dec. 12, 2024). 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 district court’s dismissal without prejudice is a final order because the court
dismissed the complaint “without granting leave to amend.” Britt v. DeJoy, 45 F.4th 790,
791 (4th Cir. 2022) (en banc) (order).
