PER CURIAM:

Andrew D. Anderson appeals the district court’s order dismissing, after a review 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), Anderson’s federal and state civil claims against 

Defendants. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we 

affirm the district court’s order. Anderson v. State of N. Carolina, No. 1:24-cv-00034-MRWCM (W.D.N.C. Mar. 18, 2024). 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
