UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 11-6279 JORGE GEVARA, a/k/a Jorge Galeas, Plaintiff – Appellant, v. BETTY INPOLD, Defendant – Appellee, and ALVIN WILLIAM KELLER, JR.; ROBERT C. LEWIS; RICHARD NEELY; LAWRENCE PARSONS; JEFFREY T. SMITH; JUDY ATWATER; DENNIS E. MARSHALL; D. HOUSE; J. HYATT; E. COLEMAN, Defendants. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Robert J. Conrad, Jr., Chief District Judge. (3:10-cv-00454-RJC) Submitted: May 19, 2011 Decided: May 24, 2011 Before TRAXLER, Chief Judge, and AGEE and KEENAN, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Jorge Gevara, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Jorge Gevara seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motions for reconsideration and leave to amend his complaint. 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, 545-47 (1949). The order Gevara 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 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 3
