Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Ryan Anderson appeals the district court’s orders dismissing his civil action under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) and denying reconsideration. ∗ We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. See Anderson v. Pollard, No. 3:21-cv-00033-DJN (E.D. Va. Apr. 21, 2021; Mar.
24, 2021); see also Cromer v. Kraft Foods N.A., Inc., 390 F.3d 812, 817 (4th Cir. 2004)
(noting that federal courts have “authority to limit access to the courts by vexatious and
repetitive litigants”); Anderson v. Pollard, __ F. App’x __, 2021 WL 3503418, at *2-3
(10th Cir. Aug. 10, 2021) (affirming dismissal of action under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)
based on claim preclusion); Anderson v. Pollard, 775 F. App’x 967 (10th Cir. 2019)
(affirming dismissal of action under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6)); Anderson v. Pollard, 774 F.
App’x 820 (4th Cir. 2019) (affirming dismissal of action as frivolous, vexatious, and for
failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted); Anderson v. Pollard, No. 3:20-
cv-00489-DJN (E.D. Va. Aug. 24, 2020) (dismissing action as frivolous and for failure to
state a claim upon which relief may be granted). 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 have construed Anderson’s informal brief on appeal as a timely notice of
appeal of the district court’s order denying his motion for reconsideration. See Smith v.
Barry, 502 U.S. 244, 248 (1992); Clark v. Cartledge, 829 F.3d 303, 305 (4th Cir. 2016).
