OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia,

PER CURIAM:

            Kenneth Awe seeks to appeal the district court order

dismissing      without    prejudice       his    action      brought      under   the

Americans     with     Disabilities        Act,    42     U.S.C.    §§ 12132-12134

(2012), for failure to state a claim.                    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 Awe seeks to

appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory

or collateral order, as Awe may be able to save his action by

amending his complaint to cure the pleading deficiencies that

were identified by the district court.                    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
