PER CURIAM:
Najia Rahmani appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motion to
dismiss and dismissing her complaint with prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the
district court’s order, Rahmani v. Rucker, No. 1:24-cv-01047-MSN-LRV (E.D. Va. July
30, 2024), as modified to reflect that the dismissal of Rahmani’s claim is without prejudice,
see S. Walk at Broadlands Homeowner’s Ass’n, Inc. v. OpenBand at Broadlands, LLC,
713 F.3d 175, 185 (4th Cir. 2013) (“A dismissal for lack of . . . subject matter jurisdiction
. . . must be one without prejudice, because a court that lacks jurisdiction has no power to
adjudicate and dispose of a claim on the merits.”). 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
