Antonacci appeals the district court’s orders granting Defendants’ motions to dismiss Antonacci’s civil complaint (Appeal No. 24- 1544), and the magistrate judge’s order denying Antonacci’s second request for entry of default against Defendant Bean, LLC, d/b/a Fusion GPS (Appeal No. 24-1545). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the appealed from orders. Antonacci v. Emanuel, No. 1:24-cv-00172-MSN-LRV (E.D. Va. May 23, 2024; June 7, 2024). We also deny Antonacci’s motions to vacate the court’s order consolidating these appeals and for entry of summary reversal. 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 3
