PER CURIAM:
Daniel W. Phoenix,* a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court’s order dismissing
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action without prejudice for failure to follow court orders. We have
reviewed the record and discern no abuse of discretion. Attkisson v. Holder, 925 F.3d 606,
620 (4th Cir. 2019) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s
order. Jamison v. Dotson, No. 3:22-cv-00425-MHL-MRC (E.D. Va. Jan. 23, 2024). 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
* After filing this action, Appellant changed his surname from “Jamison” to
“Phoenix.”
