PER CURIAM: Warren Chase appeals a district court order dismissing his civil rights complaint concerning conditions of confinement and medical treatment. Insofar as Chase appeals the order

dismissing his complaint as it pertained to events in August and September 2006, we have reviewed the record and the district court order and affirm for the reasons cited by the district court. See Chase v. Butler, No. 1:08-cv-03483-CCB (D. Md. filed Insofar as Chase appeals

Jan. 26, 2009; entered Jan. 27, 2009).

from the district court order dismissing without prejudice his complaint as it concerned events in 2008, a dismissal without prejudice is not reviewable by this court unless the reasons stated for the dismissal clearly disclose that no amendment to the complaint could cure its defects. See Domino Sugar Corp. v.

Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993). Because Chase could cure the defect in the complaint, we We dispense with oral argument

dismiss in part the appeal.

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED IN PART; DISMISSED IN PART
