Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore.   M.J. Garbis, District Judge.  (CA-95-2899-MJG)
Frank M. Neff, Appellant Pro Se.
D.Md.
AFFIRMED IN PART AND DISMISSED IN PART.
Before RUSSELL, HALL, and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint.   As to those claims which the district court properly held must be brought in a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) proceeding, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   Neff v. Roxbury Correctional Institution, No. CA-95-2899-MJG (D.Md. Oct. 20, 1995).

2
Because Appellant may amend his complaint to comply with Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a) with respect to his § 1983 claims, we dismiss this portion of the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.  See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064 (4th Cir.1993);  28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988).   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.
