PER CURIAM:

Gwendolyn Thorpe appeals the district court’s order dismissing her civil complaint

without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Thorpe v. Va.

Beach City Sch. Bd., No. 2:24-cv-00231-MSD-LRL (E.D. Va. Mar. 14, 2025). 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
