Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ahoto Taysir Mulazim, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

PER CURIAM:

Ahoto Taysir Mulazim appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his

(2000) complaint without prejudice

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A (2000). Because Mulazim may cure any

deficiency by filing an amended complaint, we dismiss the appeal

for lack of jurisdiction, because the judgment is not a final,

appealable order. See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local

Union 392,

(4th Cir. 1993). 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
