PER CURIAM:

               David E. Henderson appeals the district court's order

dismissing          without    prejudice        his   complaint    against      Defendant

summarily       asserting,        in    part,    that    since    1983   Defendant     has

refused        to     assist     him    in    obtaining     medical      retirement     or

reemployment with the United States Foreign Service.                              Because

Henderson may amend his complaint to cure the pleading defects

identified by the district court, we find that the dismissal

order     is        interlocutory       and     not    appealable.        See   Chao    v.

Rivendell Woods, Inc., 

, 345 (4th Cir. 2005); Domino

Sugar   Corp.         v. Sugar    Workers       Local   Union    392,    

,

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     the     court      and     argument   would    not    aid   the

decisional process.

                                                                                DISMISSED
