PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) action. All but four

of Appellants' claims were dismissed without prejudice. Because

such dismissals are generally not appealable, we dismiss the appeal

regarding these claims. See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers
Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993).

     Three of Appellant's remaining claims were dismissed as frivo-

lous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1988), and Appellant's last

claim was dismissed after summary judgment was granted to the only
remaining Defendant. We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm the dismissal of the remaining claims on the reasoning of
the district court. McNamara v. Wasserman, No. CA-95-2907-AMD (D.
Md. Oct. 24, 1995, & Feb. 1, 1996). 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.

                              AFFIRMED IN PART, DISMISSED IN PART
