No. 96-6333.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted June 20, 1996.Decided July 1, 1996.

Kevin D. Thompson, Appellant Pro Se.
Before HALL, WILKINS, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing without prejudice his action entitled "Show Cause for a Temporary Restraining Order."   The district court's dismissal without prejudice is not appealable at this time, given the fact that Appellant could save his complaint through amendment.  Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers' Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064 (4th Cir.1993).  This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1992) (1988);  Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b);  Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.  Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).  The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory order.

2
We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory.  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.

3
DISMISSED.
