PER CURIAM:
Shirley Marie Trent appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice
her civil complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record
and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Trent v.
Va. Commonwealth Univ., No. 3:25-cv-00168-DJN (E.D. Va. Apr. 3, 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
