PER CURIAM:

Anthony Fred Martin seeks to appeal the district court’s 

order adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation 

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

civil rights action. 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, 545-47 (1949). Because the deficiencies 

identified by the district court may be remedied by the filing 

of an amended complaint, we conclude that the order Martin 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
