PER CURIAM:
Jessica Roush appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motion to
dismiss her second amended 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. As stated by the district court, Roush failed to meet the
requisite pleading standards for each of her claims despite the district court affording her
multiple opportunities to supplement and revise her claims. Moreover, Roush’s informal
brief fails to adequately challenge this determination and asserts various facts and
allegations not presented before the district court. Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order. Roush v. Mitchell, No. 5:25-cv-00166-JPB-JPM (N.D. W. Va. Dec. 29,
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
