UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 10-6744
MARQUEION HARRISON,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA; DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION, Division
of Prisons,
Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
District of North Carolina, at Statesville. Graham C. Mullen,
Senior District Judge. (5:10-cv-00043-GCM)
Submitted: June 24, 2010 Decided: July 1, 2010
Before DUNCAN, AGEE, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Marqueion Harrison, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Marqueion Harrison seeks to appeal the district
court’s order dismissing without prejudice his complaint filed
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006), for failure to comply with
Rule 8 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This court may
exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291
(2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28
U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial
Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order
Harrison 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, 1066 (4th
Cir. 1993). Because Harrison could cure the defect identified
by the district court by filing an amended complaint, 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
