Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Leona M. Brinkema,
District Judge. (1:14-cv-01012-LMB-TCB)
Submitted: December 16, 2014 Decided: December 19, 2014
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Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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
