                                            2
PER CURIAM:

      Tyrone R. Wallace appeals the district court’s orders denying relief on his complaint

filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics,

403 U.S. 388 (1971).     We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Wallace v. Henning,

No. 3:18-cv-00049-GMG-RWT (N.D.W. Va. July 28, 2021; Sept. 2, 2021; Sept. 24, 2021).

However, we modify the district court’s July 28, 2021, dismissal order to clarify that

Wallace’s claim is dismissed without prejudice. See Attkisson v. Holder, 925 F.3d 606,

628 (4th Cir. 2019) (holding that district court’s dismissal for lack of service must be

without prejudice because “a court generally lacks personal jurisdiction over unserved

parties”). We deny Wallace’s motion for relief from judgment. 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 AS MODIFIED

                                            3
