PER CURIAM:

Sunday Quincy Usoh appeals the district court’s order accepting the magistrate

judge’s recommendation and dismissing his amended petition challenging the denial of his

application for naturalization. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order, see Usoh v. U.S. Citizenship &

Immigration Servs., No. 2:22-cv-01470-SAL (D.S.C. July 20, 2023), but we modify the

dismissal to be without prejudice as to the claims dismissed for lack of subject matter

jurisdiction and failure to exhaust administrative remedies, see Ali v. Hogan, 26 F.4th 587,

600 (4th Cir. 2022); Moss v. Harwood, 19 F.4th 614, 623 n.3 (4th Cir. 2021). 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 AS MODIFIED
