Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).




                               2
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order adopting the

magistrate judge's report and recommendation and dismissing without

prejudice this complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988). The

order is not appealable because the defect upon which the dismissal

was based could be cured by amending the complaint. See Domino
Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 

 (4th

Cir. 1993). Accordingly, this Court does not have jurisdiction over

this appeal and it must be dismissed.

     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
