Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: In these consolidated appeals, Appellants appeal from the district court's order dismissing without prejudice their 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1988) action for failure to particularize their complaint (No. 96-6275) and denying their motion to reconsider the dismissal (No. 96-6722). Because a dismissal without prejudice is generally not appealable, we dismiss the appeals. See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993). Finally, since Appellants have been granted in forma pau- peris status on appeal, we dismiss as moot Appellants' appeal of the district court's order directing them to properly complete an in forma pauperis application for purposes of appeal (No. 96-6629).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten- tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
