Tigress Sydney McDaniel, Appellant Pro Se.
UNPUBLISHED
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Frank D. Whitney, Chief District Judge. (3:18-cv-00205-FDW-DCK) Before NIEMEYER, KING, and WYNN, Circuit Judges. Affirmed as modified by unpublished per curiam opinion. Tigress Sydney McDaniel, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Acting pro se and on behalf of her minor son, Tigress Sydney Acute McDaniel filed in the district court a civil action alleging claims under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985 (2012), the Americans With Disabilities Act, and the Rehabilitation Act. The district court sua sponte dismissed McDaniel's complaint, which was filed in forma pauperis, for failure to state a claim. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) (2012). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See McDaniel v. Charlotte-Mecklenberg Schs., No. 3:18-cv-00205-FDW-DCK (W.D.N.C. May 11, 2018). We modify the district court's judgment, though, to reflect that the dismissal be without prejudice because McDaniel was not given an opportunity to respond or amend her complaint before the court's sua sponte dismissal. See Thomas v. Salvation Army S. Terr., 841 F.3d 632, 642 (4th Cir. 2016). 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.
