MOORE, individual and official capacity; CORP. BENDLEY, individual and official capacity; LT. VARGAS, individual and official capacity; LT. ONREL, individual and official capacity; CORP. DRISCOLL, individual and official capacity, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. T. S. Ellis, III, Senior District Judge. (1:13-cv-00445-TSE-JFA) Submitted: March 28, 2014 Decided: April 10, 2014 Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Javon Stephenson, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Javon Stephenson seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motions, dismissing claims that were not particularized and granting his motion to amend his complaint to add claims under the First Amendment and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Stephenson 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 2
