PER CURIAM:

            Adrian      Dominic         Watkins       appeals         from    the      district

court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint

without prejudice because it failed to comply with Fed. R. Civ.

P.    8(a)(2).     Generally,           a    district         court’s     dismissal         of    a

complaint without prejudice is not appealable.                            See Domino Sugar

Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67

(4th Cir. 1993) (holding that a “plaintiff may not appeal the

dismissal of his complaint without prejudice unless the grounds

for    dismissal     clearly       indicate          that      no     amendment       [in    the

complaint]    could       cure    the       defects      in    the    plaintiff’s         case”)

(alteration in original) (internal quotation marks omitted).                                     In

this case, Watkins would be able to save his action by amending

his    complaint     to    comply        with      the      district         court’s      order.

Therefore, the district court’s dismissal of Watkins’ complaint

without      prejudice       is     not         an       appealable           final       order.

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
