PER CURIAM:
Valerie Arroyo appeals the district court’s orders accepting the recommendation of
the magistrate judge, dismissing her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(e)(2)(B), and denying reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we deny the pending motions and affirm the district court’s
orders. See Arroyo v. Pretium Partners LLC, No. 1:24-cv-01075-CCE-JEP (M.D.N.C.
Feb. 18, 2025; Mar. 3, 2025; Mar. 27, 2025). 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
