Jose Reyes-Figueroa v. R. Purdue

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Jose Reyes-Figueroa v. R. Purdue, 585 F. App'x 282 (4th Cir. 2014)

Jose Reyes-Figueroa v. R. Purdue

Opinion

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Jose Reyes-Figueroa seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. The district court dismissed the petition pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b) when Reyes-Figueroa failed to correct deficiencies in his petition after being ordered to do so by the district court. Because Reyes-Figueroa may file an amended petition to cure the defects identified by the district court, we find that the dismissal order is interlocutory and not ap-pealable. 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 deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and 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.
