Jackson v. Taylor

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 00-6441 CHARLES JACKSON, Plaintiff - Appellant, versus JOHN B. TAYLOR, Chief Warden, Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis- trict of Virginia, at Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District Judge. (CA-99-1612-AM) Submitted: June 15, 2000 Decided: June 23, 2000 Before NIEMEYER and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Cir- cuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Charles Jackson, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Charles Jackson appeals the district court's order dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) com- plaint. The court dismissed Jackson's complaint based on his fail- ure to comply with its prior order directing him to particularize his complaint. Because Jackson may proceed with this action by amending his complaint to provide the information requested by the court, his appeal is interlocutory and not subject to appellate review. See 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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 2
