        PER CURIAM:

               Richard Coleman appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action

        without prejudice for improper venue. ∗ We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

        error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Coleman v. State

        of North Carolina, No. 2:21-cv-00399-RAJ-LRL (E.D. Va. Sept. 27, 2021). 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.

                                                                                       AFFIRMED

               ∗
                We conclude that the district court’s order dismissing Coleman’s action without
        prejudice is an appealable final order. See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local
        Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1067 (4th Cir. 1993) (holding that dismissal without prejudice
        may be final if no amendment to complaint can cure defect in plaintiff’s complaint).
