UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 15-7816
WILLIAM T. SIMS,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
UNKNOWN,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Gerald Bruce Lee, District
Judge. (1:15-cv-00533-GBL-IDD)
Submitted: February 23, 2016 Decided: February 26, 2016
Before MOTZ and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
William T. Sims, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
William T. Sims appeals the district court’s order
dismissing his complaint without prejudice for failing 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. Sims v. Unknown, No. 1:15-cv-00533-GBL-
IDD (E.D. Va. Oct. 21, 2015). We deny Sims’ motion to appoint
counsel and 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 Sims’ complaint
without prejudice, we possess jurisdiction over this appeal
because the dismissal was based on Sims’ failure to comply with
a court order, not on account of a flaw in the complaint.
