COLEMAN v. NORTH CAROLINA (2021)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Richard COLEMAN, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. State of NORTH CAROLINA; Pasquotank County, North Carolina; Robert Trivette; Katherine Cartwright; Edgar Barnes, Defendants - Appellees.

No. 20-1899

Decided: March 26, 2021

Before THACKER, QUATTLEBAUM, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges.

Richard Coleman, Appellant Pro Se.

Richard Coleman appeals the district court's order dismissing his civil action without prejudice for improper venue.^* We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Coleman v. North Carolina, No. 2:20-cv-00350-RAJ-LRL, 2020 WL 4917643 (E.D. Va. July 27, 2020). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

FOOTNOTES

FOOTNOTE. We conclude that the district court's order dismissing Coleman's action without prejudice is an appealable final order. See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1067 (4th Cir. 1993) (holding that dismissal without prejudice may be final if no amendment to complaint can cure defect in plaintiff's complaint).

PER CURIAM:

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
