        PER CURIAM:

               Paulus Irvin Perkins appeals the district court’s orders directing him to amend his

        42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint, denying reconsideration, directing him to file a second

        amended complaint, and dismissing his second amended complaint for failure to state a

        claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1). We have reviewed the record and find no

        reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. Perkins v. Pruett, No.

        1:21-cv-00919-RDA-TCB (E.D. Va. Aug. 23 & Dec. 1, 2021, Feb. 9 & May 4, 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

                                                     3
