UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 14-7793 CHARLETTE DUFRAY JOHNSON, Plaintiff – Appellant, v. W. EARL BRITT; JASON CROWLEY, U.S. Prosecutor; GASTON WILLIAMS, U.S. Prosecutor; FELICE CORPENING, U.S. Prosecutor; JANE PIERCE, Public Defender; SLADE TRABUCCO, Public Defender; MITCH STEYERS, Public Defender; MARY PARKER, Probation Officer; REGINALD DEMETRUS, Case Agent; UNKNOWN AGENT, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Robert Boyd Jones, Jr., Magistrate Judge. (5:14-ct-03270-D) Submitted: February 12, 2015 Decided: February 19, 2015 Before MOTZ, WYNN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Charlette Dufray Johnson, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Charlette Dufray Johnson seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order granting Johnson leave to proceed in her civil action without prepayment of fees and costs pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), (b) (2012). 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 Johnson 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
