James A. Brown, Jr., appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) action. The magistrate judge recommended dismissing the complaint because Brown failed to indicate any named Defendant was aware he did not timely receive his medication or was deliberately indifferent to that fact and Brown did not allege specific facts to support his bare assertion of retaliation. The district court dismissed the appeal without prejudice because Brown failed to timely object to the magistrate judge’s report.

Because Brown may be able to proceed with this action by amending his complaint to allege sufficient facts to state a claim, the dismissal order is not final and thus is not subject to appellate review. See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993).

We therefore dismiss the 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.
