    No. 12-1863.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: Sept. 28, 2012.
    Decided: Oct. 9, 2012.
    Chase Carmen Hunter, Appellant Pro Se.
    Before WILKINSON, KING, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.
   Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Chase Carmen Hunter appeals the district court’s order dismissing her civil complaint without prejudice under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (2006). Hunter’s complaint requested that the district court issue an injunction barring the Defendants from domesticating a Florida state court judgment in Virginia state court, a declaratory judgment finding the Florida state case void, and compensatory and punitive damages. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm. 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. 
      
       While dismissals without prejudice generally are interlocutory and not appealable, Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066 (4th Cir.1993), a dismissal without prejudice may be final if no amendment to the complaint can cure the defect in the plaintiff's case. Id. at 1066-67; see Jones v. Braxton, 392 F.3d 683, 685 (4th Cir.2004). We conclude that no amendment to Hunter's complaint could save her action; therefore, the district court's dismissal without prejudice is a final, appealable order.
