Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
George Milton Britt appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint under 28
U.S.C. § 1915A(b) (2000). We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. We note, however, that the district court should
have dismissed the action without prejudice. See Napier v.
Preslicka, 314 F.3d 528, 534 n.3 (11th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, we
affirm as modified to reflect dismissal without prejudice See
Britt v. Fowler, No. CA-04-679 (E.D. Va. July 13, 2004). We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED
