Luz Denise Negron

- Bennett; Salim A. Bennett , Appellant s Pro Se. Susan Dudley Stout, COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Arlington, Virginia; John J. Brandt, Eric Patri ck Burns, WILSON ELSER MOSKOWITZ EDELMAN & DICKER LLP, McLean, Virginia , for Appellee s

.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.4 PER CURIAM:

Luz Denise Negron

- Bennett and her husband

, Salim A.

Bennett

, appeal the district court ’ s order dismissing with

prejudice their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (20 06 ) action for noncompliance

with the court ’s earlier order instructing them to particularize

their complaint

. Here, the plaintiffs failed to particularize

their inscrutable complaint

, as thoroug hly directed by the

district court, which also warned them that failure to comply

with its order could result in dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P.

41(b). We review a district court ’ s dismissal under Rule 41(b)

for abuse of discretion. Ballard v. Carlson , 8 82 F.2d 93, 95

– 96

(4th Cir. 1989). We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court. Negron

- Bennett v. McCandless , No. 1:13

-

cv

- 00387

- JCC

- JFA (E.D. Va. Oct. 8, 2013). We dispen se 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.
