Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM
James Edward Rose, Jr., a pretrial detainee, appeals the district court's order dismissing without prejudice his civil rights action for failure to prosecute pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b).[*] We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment. Rose v. South Carolina, No. 2:21-cv-02909-JMC (D.S.C. Feb. 11, 2022). We deny Rose's motion for appointment of counsel. 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.
[*] Because the defect identified by the district court-failure to prosecute or comply with a court order-is "unrelated to the contents of the pleadings," we conclude that the district court's order is final and appealable. Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc'y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 624 (4th Cir. 2015), abrogated in part on other grounds by Bing v. Brivo Sys., LLC, 959 F.3d 605, 611-12 (4th Cir. 2020) (discussing factors this court considers in determining whether order is final and appealable), cert. denied, 141 S.Ct. 1376 (2021).
