Jerry L. Adams, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Jerry L. Adams seeks to appeal the district court’s order
dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint
for failing to submit three copies of the complaint or to file a
concise amended complaint. This court may exercise jurisdiction
only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain
interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed.
R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S.
541 (1949). The order Adams seeks to appeal is neither a final
order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See
Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064,
1067 (4th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack
of jurisdiction. 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
