        PER CURIAM:

               Kaysan Johnson appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice her

        removed civil action for failure to state a claim. ∗ See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). We have

        reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. See Fairfax v. CBS Corp., 2 F.4th 286,

        291-92 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing standard of review and discussing plaintiff’s pleading

        burden). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Johnson v. First Horizon Home

        Loan Corp., No. 1:22-cv-01715-JRR (D. Md. Aug. 18, 2022). 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

               ∗
                 The district court’s dismissal without prejudice is a final, appealable order because
        the district court dismissed the complaint “without granting leave to amend.” Britt v.
        DeJoy, 45 F.4th 790, 791, 798 (4th Cir. 2022) (en banc) (published order).
