PER CURIAM:

Jernice Hamilton appeals the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s

recommendation to dismiss without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction

Hamilton’s pro se civil action. We have reviewed the record de novo and identified no

error in the district court’s decision to grant Defendants’ Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) motion

to dismiss. See Bulger v. Hurwitz, 62 F.4th 127, 135 (4th Cir. 2023) (stating standard of

review for a Rule 12(b)(1) dismissal). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s dismissal

order. Hamilton v. Army Bd. for Corrs., No. 2:21-cv-00195-BHH (D.S.C. Sept. 27, 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
