Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Vernell Williams appeals the district court's order dismissing his second amended complaint with prejudice for failure to comply with a court order, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b). We review a district court's dismissal under Rule 41(b) for abuse of discretion. Simpson v. Welch, 900 F.2d 33, 35-36 (4th Cir. 1990). Upon review, we discern no abuse of discretion by the district court. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court in its Rule 41(b) analysis. Williams v. Dep't of the Army, No. 3:20-cv-00281-DJN (E.D. Va. Aug. 22, 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
