Nazira Urrego, Appellant Pro Se. Elizabeth Ann Coltrane, Lisa Hudson Kim, SAMUEL
I. WHITE, PC, Virginia Beach, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Nazira Urrego seeks to appeal the district court’s dismissal of her complaint

without prejudice. Nothing in the district court’s order foreclosed the possibility that

Urrego could cure the pleading deficiencies in the complaint. See Goode v. Cent. Va.

Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 623-24 (4th Cir. 2015). Because an amendment

could potentially cure the pleading defects the district court identified in Urrego’s

complaint, the court’s order is not a final order appealable under 28 U.S.C. § 1291

(2012), and we lack jurisdiction over the appeal.

       Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction and remand to the

district court with instructions to allow Urrego to amend her complaint. See Goode, 807

F.3d at 630. 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 AND REMANDED

                                            2
