PER CURIAM:

Katharine B. Dillon appeals from the district court’s orders 

dismissing her civil complaint with prejudice for lack of subject 

matter jurisdiction and denying her motion for reconsideration. 

On appeal, she does not challenge the jurisdictional 

determination, but contends that the district court should have 

dismissed the complaint without prejudice.

Because a dismissal for lack of jurisdiction 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), we 

affirm the dismissal order as modified to reflect that the 

dismissal is without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. § 2106 (2012). 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.
