FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 98-2203
EDWARD R. ROUSE,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
versus
TOGO D. WEST, JR., Acting Secretary of

Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis-
trict of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, District Judge.
(CA-98-425-3)
Submitted: September 30, 1998 Decided: October 14, 1998
Before ERVIN, LUTTIG, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Edward R. Rouse, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Edward R. Rouse appeals from the district court’s order dis-
missing without prejudice his civil action. The district court
dismissed Rouse’s complaint without prejudice for failure to show
that he had exhausted his administrative remedies. Because a dis-
missal without prejudice is not generally appealable, we dismiss
the appeal. See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union
392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993). 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
