                                            2
PER CURIAM:

      DeWayne Baker appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983

complaint without prejudice for failure to comply with the court’s order directing him to

file a second amended complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). We review a district court’s

dismissal under Rule 41(b) for abuse of discretion. Simpson v. Welch, 900 F.2d 33, 35-36

(4th Cir. 1990). We have reviewed the record and find no abuse of discretion. Baker v.

Gilmore, No. 7:18-cv-00382-TTC-RSB (W.D. Va. Nov. 30, 2020). Accordingly, we

affirm. We deny Baker’s motions to show cause for an injunction and a temporary

restraining order and to appoint counsel. 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
