                                 2
PER CURIAM:

              In these consolidated cases, Jorge Gevara appeals the

district      court’s      order   adopting     the    recommendation            of     the

magistrate     judge    and    dismissing      his    42    U.S.C.    § 1983      (2006)

civil rights action without prejudice for failure to exhaust

administrative remedies and the magistrate judge’s interlocutory

orders    denying     Gevara’s     motions     seeking       leave    to    amend,      to

reconsider, and for a certificate of appealability. *                            We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                        Accordingly,

we   affirm    on    the     reasoning    of   the    district       court       and    the

magistrate judge.          Gevara v. Bennett, No. 1:09-cv-000343-WO-LPA

(M.D.N.C.     Aug.     18,    2010;   Aug.     30,    2010;      Sept.     21,    2010).

We deny Gevara’s motion for a certificate of appealability and

dispense      with   oral      argument    because         the   facts     and        legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                                 AFFIRMED

      *
       Gevara’s appeals from the magistrate judge’s orders were
interlocutory when filed. The district court’s subsequent entry
of a final judgment permits review of the magistrate judge’s
orders under the doctrine of cumulative finality.     See In re
Bryson, 406 F.3d 284, 287-89 (4th Cir. 2005); Equip. Fin. Group,
Inc. v. Traverse Computer Brokers, 973 F.2d 345, 347 (4th Cir.
1992).
