PER CURIAM:
Marie Therese Assa’ad-Faltas appeals the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing without prejudice, after a review
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, Assa’ad-Faltas’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. * We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons
stated by the district court. Assa’ad-Faltas v. McMaster, No. 3:20-cv-01809-TLW (D.S.C.
Dec. 18, 2020). We deny Assa’ad-Faltas’ motion to place this appeal in abeyance. 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
*
Although the district court dismissed Assa’ad-Faltas’ action without prejudice, we
have jurisdiction over this appeal. See Bing v. Brivo Sys., LLC, 959 F.3d 605, 612 (4th Cir.
2020), cert. denied, 141 S. Ct. 1376 (2021).
