Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Stephen Thomas Yelverton seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying his motion for leave to file a second amended
complaint. 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 Yelverton seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor
an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we
grant Appellees’ motion to 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
