PER CURIAM:

      James Lester Roudabush, Jr., seeks to appeal the district

court’s    order       dismissing        his    civil      action   without     prejudice.

This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

28 U.S.C.        § 1291         (2012),        and     certain      interlocutory         and

collateral orders.               28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P.

54(b); Cohen         v.    Beneficial      Indus.         Loan   Corp.,   337    U.S.     541,

545-47    (1949).            Because     the    deficiencies        identified       by    the

district    court         may    be   remedied       by    the   filing   of    an   amended

complaint, we conclude that the order Roudabush seeks to appeal

is   neither     a    final      order    nor    an       appealable   interlocutory       or

collateral order.               Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc.,

___ F.3d ___, No. 14-1939, 2015 WL 8289046, at *3-*4 (4th Cir.

Dec. 9, 2015); Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union

392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993).

      Accordingly,              we    dismiss        the      appeal      for    lack       of

jurisdiction.          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

                                                2
