United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted April 21, 1994.

DISMISSED.
Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, MICHAEL, Circuit Judge, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from a district court order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing without prejudice his request for habeas corpus relief on the ground that appellant's remedy for his alleged subjection to cruel and unusual punishment exists under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (1988). A plaintiff may not appeal from a dismissal without prejudice where he may continue his action in the district court by amending his complaint. Domino Sugar v. Sugar Workers Local 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir.1993). Since, in this case, the appellant may continue his action by requesting relief under Sec. 1983, appellate review is foreclosed.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. 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.
