Before WILKINSON, KING, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Michael Anthony Williams, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Michael Anthony Williams seeks to appeal the district
court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint
without prejudice. 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 Williams seeks to appeal
is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or
collateral order, as Williams may be able to save the action by
amending his complaint to cure the pleading deficiencies
identified by the district court. Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar
Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We
deny Williams’ motions to appoint counsel and for leave to file
an amended complaint. ∗ 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
∗
Any amended complaint must be filed in the district court
rather than in this court.
