Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Charleston. Henry M. Herlong, Jr., Senior District Judge. (2:10-cv-01775-HMH) Submitted: October 18, 2011 Decided: October 21, 2011 Before WILKINSON, MOTZ, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Maurice Dunbar, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Maurice Dunbar appeals the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing his complaint without prejudice. Because Dunbar 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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 3
