Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt.
Paula Xinis, District Judge. (8:18-cv-01151-PX)

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Shomari Salim Daley, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Shomari Salim Daley appeals the district court’s order dismissing his complaint
without prejudice for failure to comply with the court’s order requiring Daley to amend
the complaint. * We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Daley v. Maryland, No.
8:18-cv-01151-PX (D. Md. May 22, 2018). We also deny Daley’s motion for a default
judgment. 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 the court dismissed the complaint without prejudice, it is clear that
further amendment to the complaint would not likely cure the complaint’s defects, so we
may exercise jurisdiction over the appeal. Cf. Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, 807
F.3d 619, 623, 628 (4th Cir. 2015) (order dismissing complaint without prejudice not
appealable under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012) if plaintiff could save action by amending
complaint).
