PER CURIAM:

Yan Donovan appeals the district court’s order dismissing her 

complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 12(b)(1). We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated 

by the district court. Donovan v. U.S. Envtl. Prot. Agency, No. 

1:15-cv-00178-TSE-MSN (E.D. Va. filed June 26, 2015 & entered June 

29, 2015). However, we affirm as modified to reflect that the 

dismissal is without prejudice to Donovan’s right to refile in the 

event she exhausts her administrative remedies. 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
