ORDER
This appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction because Appellant
seeks to appeal a non-final order. gz; 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (stating that the courts of appeals
shall have jurisdiction of appeals from all tinal decisions of the district courts). An order
which dismisses a complaint without prejudice is neither tinal nor appealable because the
plaintiff may correct the deficiency without affecting thc cause of action. Borelli v. City
of Reading, 532 F .2d 950, 951-52 (3d Cir. 1976). Appellant may retile his complaint
with the required forms in District Court and pursue his claims.
