Cassell v. Jagust

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 07-6277 CHARLES M. CASSELL, III, Plaintiff - Appellant, versus DOCTOR JAGUST; DOCTOR MICHALAS, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Terrence W. Boyle, District Judge. (5:06-ct-03025-BO) Submitted: August 10, 2007 Decided: August 31, 2007 Before NIEMEYER, TRAXLER, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Charles M. Cassell, III, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Charles M. Cassell, III seeks to appeal the district court’s orders dismissing Cassell’s various amended filings in his ongoing 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action. 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 orders Cassell seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. The district court has yet to enter a final order in Cassell’s § 1983 action. 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 - 2 -
