Affirmed as modified by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM.

Dennis Shipman appeals the district court's order dismissing his complaint and request for a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order for failure to comply with Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a), 65(b). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order, but we modify the judgment to reflect that the dismissal is without prejudice. Shipman v. Somerset Cnty. (MD), No. 1:22-cv-03111-GLR (D. Md. Jan. 10, 2023). 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

Judge Gregory voted to vacate the district court's order and remand with instructions to allow Shipman an opportunity to amend his complaint.
