PER CURIAM:
Isaiah T. Feaster appeals from the district court's order
dismissing without prejudice this complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 (1994). The district court’s dismissal without prejudice is
not appealable. See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union
392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993). A dismissal without
prejudice is a final order only if "'no amendment [to the com-
plaint] could cure the defects in the plaintiff's case.'" Id. In
ascertaining whether a dismissal without prejudice is reviewable in
this Court, we must determine "whether the plaintiff could save his
action by merely amending his complaint." Id. Because the grounds
for dismissal of this action show that Feaster could save his
action in the district court, the dismissal order is not appeal-
able. 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
