    No. 01-6300.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted April 27, 2001.
    Decided May 7, 2001.
    Kiasi Powell, pro se.
    Before LUTTIG and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
   PER CURIAM.

Kiasi Powell appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp.2000) complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A(b)(l) (West Supp.2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Powell v. Ely, No. CA-01-5-7 (W.D.Va. Jan. 12, 2001). 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. 
      
       Generally, dismissals without prejudice are not appealable. Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066 (4th Cir.1993). We find, however, that the district court’s order is a final, appealable order because no amendment can cure the defect in Powell’s complaint. Id. at 1066-67.
