Robin Collins v. Lois Verzall

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 14-7823 ROBIN VIRGINIA MEADOWS COLLINS, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. CORPORAL LOIS VERZALL, Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Dever, III, Chief District Judge. (5:14-ct-03110-D) Submitted: April 20, 2015 Decided: May 5, 2015 Before KEENAN, WYNN, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Robin Virginia Meadows Collins, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Robin Virginia Meadows Collins seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice her civil rights action under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) (2012) for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted. 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, 545-47 (1949). Because the deficiencies identified by the district court may be remedied by the filing of an amended complaint, we conclude that the order Collins seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. 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 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
