PER CURIAM: 

Somchai Noonsab appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing without prejudice∗ his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) 

complaint as duplicative. We have reviewed the record and find 

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons 

stated by the district court. Noonsab v. NC Gov’t, No. 5:16-ct03122-FL (E.D.N.C. July 8, 2016). We deny Noonsab’s motion for 

a certificate of appealability as unnecessary. 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 in the decisional process. 

AFFIRMED

 ∗ We conclude this is a final appealable order because 

Noonsab may not amend his complaint to cure the defect. See

Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 629-30 

(4th Cir. 2015) (holding that dismissal without prejudice is not 

appealable unless “the district court’s grounds for dismissal 

clearly indicate that no amendment could cure the complaint’s 

defects”).
