        PER CURIAM:

               Eric E. Miller appeals the district court’s order dismissing his amended civil

        complaint as to some defendants without prejudice for failure to serve under Fed. R. Civ.

        P. 4(m) and the remaining defendants with prejudice for failure to state a claim under Fed.

        R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6).      We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

        Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Miller v. Colonial Pipeline Co., No. 3:21-

        cv-00762-DJN (E.D. Va. June 24, 2022). We deny Miller’s motion for appointment of

        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

                                                     2
