Edwards v. TRS Staffing

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 06-2023 OTIS O. EDWARDS, Plaintiff - Appellant, versus TRS STAFFING SOLUTIONS, INCORPORATED; FLUOR ENTERPRISES, INC., Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Tommy E. Miller, Magistrate Judge. (2:06-cv-00166-JBF-TE) Submitted: January 19, 2007 Decided: February 16, 2007 Before KING and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Otis O. Edwards, Appellant Pro Se. Ruth Litvin Goodboe, MCGUIREWOODS, LLP, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Otis O. Edwards seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order imposing sanctions. 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 Edwards seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We deny Edwards’ motion for 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.
