Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying re- lief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we dismiss Appellant's claims raising allega- tions concerning: (1) restrictions in using and wearing religious clothing and the high cost of toiletries, stationery, and health care; (2) guard assaults on August 27, 1993, and February 19, 1996; and (3) deprivations of liberty and property occurring between February 16 and February 21, 1996. The district court's dismissal without prejudice of these claims is not appealable because Appel- lant could amend his complaint to cure the defects in his plead- ings. See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers' Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993).

We affirm the dismissal of the remaining claims on the reason- ing of the district court. Jones v. Glendening, No. CA-96-620-L (D.

Md. Mar. 12, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate- rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED IN PART; DISMISSED IN PART
