PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated cases, Louis B. Antonacci appeals the district court’s orders
granting Defendants’ motions to dismiss Antonacci’s civil complaint (Appeal No. 24-
1544), and the magistrate judge’s order denying Antonacci’s second request for entry of
default against Defendant Bean, LLC, d/b/a Fusion GPS (Appeal No. 24-1545). We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the appealed from
orders. Antonacci v. Emanuel, No. 1:24-cv-00172-MSN-LRV (E.D. Va. May 23, 2024;
June 7, 2024). We also deny Antonacci’s motions to vacate the court’s order consolidating
these appeals and for entry of summary reversal. 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
