UNPUBLISHED
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Dever III, District Judge. (5:17-cv-00590-D) Before KING, KEENAN, and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Reinaldo Olavarria, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Reinaldo Olavarria appeals the district court's order granting Defendants' post-remand motions to dismiss Olavarria's civil claims against the State of North Carolina and several public officials. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Olavarria v. Cooper, No. 5:17-cv-00590-D (E.D.N.C. Apr. 16, 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.
We previously remanded this matter to the district court for further consideration in light of Fort Bend Cnty., Tx. v. Davis, 139 S. Ct. 1843 (2019). See Olavarria v. Cooper, 776 F. App'x 128 (4th Cir. 2019) (No. 19-1536). Defendants filed new motions to dismiss on remand and the district court granted the motions, in part, and dismissed the action without prejudice. Although the district court's dismissal was without prejudice, we have jurisdiction over this appeal. See Bing v. Brivo Sys., LLC, 959 F.3d 605, 615 (4th Cir. 2020). --------
