Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Benjamin Henderson Jones, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Benjamin Jones appeals from a district court order dismissing

his complaint without prejudice for failure to amend and particu-

larize his complaint and denying his motions for default judgment

and a temporary restraining order. We dismiss the appeal.

The district court's dismissal order makes clear that Jones may save his complaint by amendment. Thus, this appeal of that

order is interlocutory. Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local 293,

10 F.3d 1064, 1067

(4th Cir. 1993). Regarding the portion of

the order denying Jones's request for a temporary restraining

order, a request regarding facts unbound to the substance of the

initial complaint, we find no extraordinary circumstances that would merit allowing an interlocutory appeal. Virginia v. Tenneco, Inc.,

538 F.2d 1026, 1029-30

(4th Cir. 1976).

Thus, we dismiss Jones's appeal. We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
