Maurice Dunbar, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

2 PER CURIAM:

Maurice Dunbar appeals the district court’s order

adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing

his complaint without prejudice. Because Dunbar may amend his

complaint to cure the defects identified by the district court,

the dismissal order is interlocutory and not appealable. See

Chao v. Rivendell Woods, Inc.,

415 F.3d 342, 345

(4th Cir.

2005); Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392,

10 F.3d 1064

, 1066–67 (4th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, we dismiss the

appeal for lack of jurisdiction. 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
