David Abiodun K.G.B. Onafeko, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.3 PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, David Obiodun K.G.B. Onafeko appeals the district court’s orders dismissing his complaint * and denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion

. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the district court’s dismissal
of t he religious organization defendants for lack of diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332 (2012), or in the district court’s denial of Onafeko’s Rule 59(e) motion. Accordingly, we affirm this portion of the appeal for the reasons stated by the distri ct

court. Onafeko v. Gov’t of U.K. , No. 1:18

- cv
- 00848

- LMB

- MSN (E.D. Va. July 10, 2018; July 17, 2018).
T he district court properly dismissed Onafeko’s claims against the government entity defendants for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Although the d istrict court held that it lacked diversity jurisdiction, we conclude that the district court lacked jurisdiction under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (“FSIA”) , 28 U.S.C. § 1330(a) (2012),
28 U.S.C.A. §§ 1 602

- 1607 ( West 20 06 & Supp. 2018 ) ; see Argent ine Rep

. v. Amerada Hess Shipping Corp. , 488 U.S. 428, 434

- 39 (1989) (“[T]he FSIA [is] the sole basis for obtaining jurisdiction over a foreign state in our courts.”)

. W e therefore affirm the
district court’s dismissal of the government entity defendants for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under the FSIA

.

* Although the district court dismissed the complaint without prejudice, we have jurisdiction over the appeal because it is clear that further amendment to the complaint would not cure the jurisdiction al defect identified by the district court. See Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc. , 807 F.3d 619, 628 (4th Cir. 2015).4 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.
