                                            2
PER CURIAM:

       Tashawn Qwantreal Thorne appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42

U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint without prejudice for failing to comply with the court’s

order to explain his alleged violation of a consent order to withdraw money from his inmate

trust account. *   We conclude that Thorne’s response, which the district court

understandably docketed as a notice of appeal, actually is an explanation in compliance

with the court’s order. We therefore vacate the district court’s dismissal order and remand

the case for the district court to consider Thorne’s explanation in the first instance and to

conduct further proceedings as necessary.        We deny Thorne’s motions for default

judgment, for discovery, for appointment of counsel, and to compel. We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                             VACATED AND REMANDED




       *
        The district court’s dismissal without prejudice on procedural grounds is final and
appealable. See Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, 807 F.3d 619, 623-24 (4th Cir. 2015).
