Dupree v. Trinity Home Improvement, Inc.

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 01-2120 TONY DUPREE, Plaintiff - Appellant, and SHARONDA THOMAS, Plaintiff, versus TRINITY HOME IMPROVEMENT, INCORPORATED; LELAND WHEATLEY, C.E.O.; TROY WHEATLEY, President; PAULA WHEATLEY, Vice-President; NORMAN WHITELOCK, Vice-President, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Benson E. Legg, District Judge. (CA-01- 271-L) Submitted: January 17, 2002 Decided: January 28, 2002 Before WILKINS and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Tony DuPree, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Tony DuPree seeks to appeal the district court’s order dis- missing his 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001) employment discrimination complaint as to some, but not all, Defendants. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1994); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. 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 2
