Lenir RICHARDSON, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. John HANCQ, Officer; Carolyn Ney, Officer; Commonwealth of Virginia; Joseph Martin; HSBC Bank of USA, N.A.; BB&B Bank; BB&T Trust Corp. System; Amanda Deptula, Officer, Defendants-Appellees.
Lenir Richardson appeals the district court’s judgment dismissing her complaint for failing to state a claim pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), and for failing to respond to the order to show cause. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. The district court did not abuse its discretion by not giving Richardson leave to amend her complaint. Willner v. Dimon, 849 F.3d 93, 114 (4th Cir. 2017) (finding no abuse of discretion when district court did not respond to Plaintiffs’ requests to amend complaint). We conclude that Richardson failed to state a claim against any of the Defendants. Trejo v. Ryman Hosp. Props., Inc., 795 F.3d 442, 445-46 (4th Cir. 2015) (stating standard of review). While we grant Richardson leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm the district court’s judgment. We deny Joseph Martin’s motion to dismiss and deny as moot Richardson’s motion in opposition to the motion to dismiss. 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.
