See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Michael Charles Wilson appeals the district court’s order

dismissing without prejudice his complaint filed under 42 U.S.C.A.

§ 1983 (West Supp. 2000), for failure to state a claim pursuant to

28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A(b)(1) (West Supp. 2000).*   We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court.   Wilson v. Augusta Corr. Ctr., No. CA-00-946-7 (W.D. Va.

filed Dec. 20, 2000; entered Dec. 21, 2000).    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.




                                                            AFFIRMED




     *
       Generally, dismissals without prejudice are not appealable.
Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 

,
1066 (4th Cir. 1993). We find, however, that the district court’s
order is a final, appealable order because no amendment can cure
the defect in Wilson’s complaint. Id. at 1066-67.
