Robert KENNEY, Jr., Petitioner-Appellant, v. Warden J. ANDREWS, FCC Petersburg, Respondent-Appellee.
Robert Kenney, Jr., appeals the district court's order dismissing his 28 U.S.C § 2241 petitioner without prejudice for failure to comply with a court order.* We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Kenney v. Andrews, No. 3:20-cv-00133-MHL-RCY (E.D. Va. May 11, 2020). 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
FOOTNOTES
FOOTNOTE. Because the district court dismissed Kenney's action “for procedural reasons unrelated to the contents of the pleadings,” we have jurisdiction over this appeal. Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc'y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 624 (4th Cir. 2015), abrogated in part on other grounds by Bing v. Brivo Sys., LLC, 959 F.3d 605, 611-12 (4th Cir. 2020) (discussing factors courts consider in determining whether order is final and appealable).
PER CURIAM:
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
