PER CURIAM:
Alonzo S. Sessoms appeals the district court’s order dismiss-
ing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000)
complaint. A dismissal without prejudice is not reviewable by the
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). In the present case, the district court
properly found that Sessoms failed to allege all of the elements
necessary to support his claim of deliberate indifference to a
serious medical need. Because Sessoms can cure these defects by
amending his complaint, we dismiss this appeal. We deny Sessoms’
motion for appointment of counsel and his motion for a jury trial.
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
