                                  2
PER CURIAM:

     In these consolidated appeals, Appellants appeal from the

district court's order dismissing without prejudice their 28 U.S.C.

§ 2241 (1988) action for failure to particularize their complaint

(No. 96-6275) and denying their motion to reconsider the dismissal

(No. 96-6722). Because a dismissal without prejudice is generally
not appealable, we dismiss the appeals. See Domino Sugar Corp. v.
Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 

, 1066-67 (4th Cir.

1993). Finally, since Appellants have been granted in forma pau-

peris status on appeal, we dismiss as moot Appellants' appeal of

the district court's order directing them to properly complete an
in forma pauperis application for purposes of appeal (No. 96-6629).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
