MEMORANDUM**

2

John Allen Smith, a Nevada state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's dismissal without prejudice of his 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 complaint alleging violations of his right to a fair trial. We lack jurisdiction over this appeal and dismiss.

3

An order dismissing the complaint but not dismissing the action ordinarily is not appealable under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291. Hoohuli v. Ariyoshi, 741 F.2d 1169, 1171 n.1 (9th Cir. 1984). Here, the district court dismissed Smith's complaint without prejudice and with leave to refile his complaint upon the exhaustion of state remedies. Accordingly, we dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. See id.

DISMISSED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4
