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.”
