USCA4 Appeal: 24-6075         Doc: 8      Filed: 04/16/2024     Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

               Richard Leo Williams seeks to appeal a vacated order that the district court entered

        in error. A vacated order is “a nullity” from which “no appeal . . . can be taken.” Nautilus

        Ins. Co. v. Winchester Homes, Inc., 15 F.3d 371, 380 (4th Cir. 1994), abrogated in part on

        other grounds by Wilton v. Seven Falls Co., 515 U.S. 277 (1995). Accordingly, we dismiss

        the appeal. 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.

                                                                                       DISMISSED

                                                     2
