Before MOTZ, KING, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Royal Pollard, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

Royal Pollard seeks to appeal the district court’s order

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) 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, 545-47 (1949).

Because the deficiencies identified by the district court may be

remedied by the filing of an amended complaint, we conclude that

the order Pollard seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor

an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Goode v. Cent.

Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 623 (4th Cir. 2015);

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
