PER CURIAM:
Timothy Hardy appeals the district court’s order granting Defendant’s Fed. R. Civ.
P. 12(b)(6) motion, dismissing his complaint for failure to state a claim, and denying his
request for leave to amend his complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error in these rulings. See Guerrero v. Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, Inc., 115 F.4th
349, 353 (4th Cir. 2024) (stating standard governing review of dismissal of complaint for
failure to state claim on which relief can be granted); Willner v. Dimon, 849 F.3d 93, 114
(4th Cir. 2017) (stating standard governing review of ruling denying request for leave to
amend complaint). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Hardy v. Chesapeake
Hosp. Auth., No. 2:24-cv-00029-EWH-RJK (E.D. Va. Mar. 13, 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
