No. 96-6582.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted Sept. 20, 1996.Decided Oct. 1, 1996.

Joseph P. Pniewski, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.
S.D.W.Va.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
Before NIEMEYER, HAMILTON, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Appellant appeals from the district court's order adopting the magistrate judge's recommendation and dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint.  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, 1066-67 (4th Cir.1993).  This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1994);  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.

DISMISSED.
