Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 USCA4 Appeal: 25-1873 Doc: 35 Filed: 04/27/2026 Pg: 3 of 3 PER CURIAM: Brian R. Della Rocca appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss Della Rocca’s complaint alleging violations of his federal constitutional rights, as well as Della Rocca’s rights under Maryland election laws. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. See, e.g., Md. Election Integrity, LLC v. Md. State Bd. of Elections, 127 F.4th 534, 538 (4th Cir. 2025) (“To establish injury in fact, a plaintiff must show that he . . . suffered an invasion of a legally protected interest that is concrete and particularized and actual or imminent, not conjectural or hypothetical.” (internal quotation marks omitted)). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Della Rocca v. Lee, No. 8:24-cv-03486-GLR (D. Md. July 15, 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 3
