Frank M. Neff, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing
without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. As to
those claims which the district court properly held must be brought
in a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) proceeding, we affirm on the reasoning
of the district court. Neff v. Roxbury Correctional Institution,
No. CA-95-2899-MJG (D. Md. Oct. 20, 1995).
Because Appellant may amend his complaint to comply with Fed.
R. Civ. P. 8(a) with respect to his § 1983 claims, we dismiss this
portion of the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Domino Sugar
Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064 (4th Cir.
1993); 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988). 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.
AFFIRMED IN PART, DISMISSED IN PART
