PER CURIAM:
Ronald Lee Robertson appeals the district court’s judgment
granting summary judgment to the Appellees Nivens, Collins and
Wuergler and dismissing the complaint as to Appellee Tyree. We
have reviewed the record and find no reversible error relating to
the grant of summary judgment. Accordingly, we affirm the grant of
summary judgment for the reasons stated by the district court.
Robertson v. Nivens, No. CA-02-778-7 (W.D. Va. Feb. 6, 2003). As
for the dismissal of the action for failing to properly serve
process on Appellee Tyree, we have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. We note, however, that dismissal of the action
should have been without prejudice. See Mendez v. Elliot, 45 F.3d
75, 78 (4th Cir. 1995). Accordingly, we affirm the court’s
dismissal of Tyree as modified to reflect dismissal without
prejudice. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED
