PER CURIAM:
Paulus Irvin Perkins appeals the district court’s orders directing him to amend his
42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint, denying reconsideration, directing him to file a second
amended complaint, and dismissing his second amended complaint for failure to state a
claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1). We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. Perkins v. Pruett, No.
1:21-cv-00919-RDA-TCB (E.D. Va. Aug. 23 & Dec. 1, 2021, Feb. 9 & May 4, 2022). 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
