Gordon Staton v. Commonwealth of Virginia

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit · Decided March 17, 2015 · Gregory, Diaz, Harris

597 F. App'x 187

Opinion

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Gordon Scott Staton appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action without prejudice * under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(2) (2012). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Sta-ton’s motion to appoint counsel and affirm *188 for the reasons stated by the district court. Staton v. Virginia, No. 7:14-cv-00622-GEC (W.D.Va. Nov. 26, 2014). 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.

AFFIRMED.

Although it is well established that orders dismissing complaints without prejudice áre ordinarily interlocutory and not appealable, see Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993), orders dismissing actions without prejudice are generally final and appealable. See Chao v. Rivendell Woods, Inc., 415 F.3d 342, 345 (4th Cir. 2005).
