PER CURIAM:

Marqueion Harrison seeks to appeal the district 

court’s order dismissing without prejudice his complaint filed 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006), for failure to comply with 

Rule 8 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This court may 

exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 

(2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 

U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial 

Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order 

Harrison seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an 

appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See Domino Sugar 

Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066 (4th 

Cir. 1993). Because Harrison could cure the defect identified 

by the district court by filing an amended complaint, 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
