PER CURIAM:
Charles Claude Ramsey appeals the district court’s order dismissing without
prejudice his civil action.1 We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error.2
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Ramsey v. Unknown, No. 2:25-cv-00740-
JKW-LRL (E.D. Va. Jan. 5, 2026). 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
1 The district court’s dismissal order is a final decision because the court dismissed
the action “without providing leave to amend.” Britt v. DeJoy, 45 F.4th 790, 796 (4th Cir.
2022) (en banc).
2 The district court clerk’s office opened a civil action after receiving a one-page
letter from Ramsey asking the court to send him a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint form. The
district court found that Ramsey’s letter did not intend to initiate a civil action and
dismissed the case. On appeal, Ramsey has not contested the district court’s
characterization of his letter and its purpose.
