Before DUNCAN and DIAZ, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Owaiian M. Jones, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Owaiian M. Jones appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his

42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2012) complaint without

prejudice. Because Jones 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

DISMISSED
