PER CURIAM:
Tanya Lorraine Jones appeals the district court’s order dismissing with prejudice
her complaint for failure to state a claim and failure to prosecute. We have reviewed the
record and find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s conclusion that Jones failed to
prosecute her case. See Attkisson v. Holder, 925 F.3d 606, 625 (4th Cir. 2019) (stating
standard of review and providing standard for dismissal pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b));
Ballard v. Carlson, 882 F.2d 93, 95-96 (4th Cir. 1989) (observing that plaintiff’s failure to
heed explicit warning of the consequences of failing to respond is an important
consideration in determining whether district court abused its discretion). Accordingly, we
affirm. 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
