(1:08-cv-02566-CCB)

Before MOTZ, GREGORY, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed in part; dismissed in part by unpublished per curiam
opinion.
Warren Chase, Appellant Pro Se. Stephanie Judith Lane Weber,
OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland,
for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Warren Chase seeks to appeal the district court’s
order concerning his supplement to the complaint and his motion
for a preliminary injunction. Insofar as Chase claims that the
court erred by not allowing him to amend his complaint, we are
without jurisdiction. 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). That part of the court’s order
directing the Defendants to respond only to the allegations
relevant to the period of time discussed in the original
complaint is neither a final order nor an appealable
interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss in
part the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
With regard to Chase’s appeal from that part of the
order denying his request for emergency injunctive relief, we
have reviewed the record and affirm in part for the reasons
stated by the district court. See Chase v. Warden, No. 1:08-cv-
02566-CCB (D. Md. filed Feb. 18, 2010, entered Feb. 19, 2010).
Accordingly, we affirm in part and dismiss in part.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
2
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED IN PART;
DISMISSED IN PART
