PER CURIAM:

Desmond George Hibbert seeks to appeal the district court’s 

order dismissing without prejudice his civil rights action under 

42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) for failure to state a claim on which 

relief may be granted. This court may exercise jurisdiction 

only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain 

interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 

337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). Because the deficiencies 

identified by the district court may be remedied by the filing 

of an amended complaint, we conclude that the order Hibbert

seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable 

interlocutory or collateral order. 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional 

process.

DISMISSED
