PER CURIAM:

Chauncey Demetrius Bennett appeals the district court’s order dismissing his
second amended 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to state a claim pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1). Because Bennett’s second amended complaint did not comply
with the district court’s instructions or Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a), we affirm the
district court’s order.
*
Bennett v. Mears, No. 1:24-cv -02360-BAH (D. Md. Dec. 4, 2025).
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

*
We deny Bennett’s motions for assignment of counsel and for a refund of the filing
fee.
