PER CURIAM:
Ray Thomas McCray seeks to appeal the district court’s order
dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000) petition without prejudice
because he failed to pay the filing fee. Because McCray can refile
his petition and pay the requisite filing fee, his appeal is
interlocutory and not subject to appellate review under Domino
Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th
Cir. 1993). Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability
and dismiss the appeal. 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
