UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-1774

TOM FRANKLIN,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

TARRANT COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. John A. Gibney, Jr., District Judge. (3:14-cv-00361-JAG)

Submitted: October 16, 2014 Decided: October 20, 2014

Before MOTZ, WYNN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Tom Franklin, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Tom Franklin appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his

(2012) complaint without

prejudice. Because Franklin 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.,

(4th Cir. 2005); Domino Sugar Corp. v.

Sugar Workers Local Union 392,

, 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

DISMISSED
