USCA4 Appeal: 21-2199 Doc: 5 Filed: 01/24/2022 Pg: 2 of 2 PER CURIAM: Richard Coleman appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action without prejudice for improper venue. ∗ We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Coleman v. State of North Carolina, No. 2:21-cv-00399-RAJ-LRL (E.D. Va. Sept. 27, 2021). 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 ∗ We conclude that the district court’s order dismissing Coleman’s action without prejudice is an appealable final order. See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1067 (4th Cir. 1993) (holding that dismissal without prejudice may be final if no amendment to complaint can cure defect in plaintiff’s complaint). 2
