PER CURIAM: 

William Edward Roberts seeks to appeal the district court’s 

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

civil action. Roberts’ complaint was dismissed for failure to 

comply with the district court’s order to amend his complaint 

and particularize his claims. 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 Roberts

seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable 

interlocutory or collateral order because it is possible for him 

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
