Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

      In his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2018) action, Azaniah Blankumsee appeals the district

court’s orders (1) granting summary judgment to Defendants Ricky Foxwell, Robert

Troxell, Dale Childers, and Antoinette Perry; and (2) dismissing the claims against the

Medical Department at ECI, but granting Blankumsee 28 days to file a more definite

statement providing the names of the individuals or parties that allegedly harmed him. *

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

reasons stated by the district court. Blankumsee v. Foxwell, No. 8:18-cv-00106-PWG (D.

Md. Jan. 10, 2019; filed Feb. 7, 2020 & entered Feb. 10, 2020). 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 entered a final judgment dismissing Blankumsee’s complaint on
April 7, 2020. Although Blankumsee’s appeal was interlocutory at the time he filed his
notice of appeal, we now have jurisdiction to consider the appeal under the doctrine of
cumulative finality. See Houck v. Substitute Tr. Servs., Inc., 791 F.3d 473, 479 (4th Cir.
2015).
