Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals · decided 1996-07-23

Relies on Domino Sugar Corporation v. Sugar Workers Local Union of United Food and Commercial Workers International Union · Bates v. Lh Breeze

Opinion by Per Curiam · Decided 1996-07-23

NOTICE: Fourth Circuit Local Rule 36(c) states that citation of unpublished dispositions is disfavored except for establishing res judicata, estoppel, or the law of the case and requires service of copies of cited unpublished dispositions of the Fourth Circuit.

Nancy Lee Bogart, Appellant Pro Se.

Before HALL, MURNAGHAN, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

¶1

In these consolidated appeals, Appellant appeals from the district court's orders dismissing her complaints without prejudice on jurisdictional grounds. A district court's dismissal without prejudice is not appealable. See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers' Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir.1993). A dismissal without prejudice could be final if "no amendment [to the complaint] could cure defects in the plaintiff's case." Id. at 1067. In ascertaining whether a dismissal without prejudice is reviewable in this court, the court must determine "whether the plaintiff could save her action by merely amending the complaint." Id. at 1066-67.

¶2

Because Appellant could have amended her complaint to correct jurisdictional flaws and to state some claims, the dismissal orders are not appealable. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals 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
