PER CURIAM:

Melinda Gabriella Valenzuela seeks to appeal the district 

court’s order dismissing without prejudice her civil complaint. 

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). The 

order Valenzuela seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an 

appealable interlocutory or collateral order because it is 

possible for her to cure the pleading deficiencies in the 

complaint that were identified by the district court. See

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
