JUSTIN GORE, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. STACEY KINCAID; SERGEANT CABLE, Sheriff; MDS GRADY, Defendants - Appellees, and FAIRFAX ADULT DETENTION CENTER, Defendant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. T.S. Ellis, III, Senior District Judge. (1:18-cv-00908-TSE-IDD)

Submitted: March 29, 2019 Decided: April 10, 2019

Before NIEMEYER, FLOYD, and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges.

Vacated and remanded by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Justin Gore, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Justin Gore appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action without prejudice for failing to comply with the court’s order to explain his alleged violation of a consent order to withdraw money from his inmate trust account. ∗ We conclude that Gore’s response, which the district court docketed as a notice of appeal, is actually an explanation in compliance with the court’s order. We therefore vacate the district court’s dismissal order and remand the case for the district court to consider Gore’s explanation in the first instance and to conduct further proceedings as necessary.

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.

VACATED AND REMANDED

∗ The district court’s dismissal without prejudice on procedural grounds is final and appealable. See Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 623-24 (4th Cir. 2015).
