UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 08-8111

DAVID LEE GARNER,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

COLUMBIA CARE CENTER,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. Terry L. Wooten, District Judge. (3:07-cv-03653-TLW)

Submitted: April 23, 2009 Decided: April 30, 2009

Before MICHAEL, GREGORY, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

David Lee Garner, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

David Lee Garner seeks to appeal the district court’s

order adopting the recommendation of magistrate judge and

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint without

prejudice. Because Garner may amend his complaint to cure the

defects identified by the district court, we find that the

dismissal order is interlocutory and not appealable. See

Chao v. Rivendell Woods, Inc. 415 F.3d 342, 345 (4th Cir. 2005);

Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union, 392, 10 F.3d

1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993). 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
