No. 16-1208
HENRY LEWIS ASTROP,
Plaintiff – Appellant,
v.
ANITA NEWTON,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Richmond. John A. Gibney, Jr.,
District Judge. (3:16-cv-00036-JAG)
Submitted: August 4, 2016 Decided: August 9, 2016
Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, KING, Circuit Judge, and DAVIS,
Senior Circuit Judge.
Dismissed and remanded by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Henry Lewis Astrop, Appellant Pro Se. Anita Newton,
Lawrenceville, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Henry Lewis Astrop seeks to appeal the district court’s
order dismissing his civil complaint without prejudice for lack
of subject matter jurisdiction. 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 Astrop seeks
to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable
interlocutory or collateral order. See Goode v. Central Va.
Legal Aid, 807 F.3d 619 (4th Cir. 2015). Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, and remand the case
to the district court with instructions to allow Astrop 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 AND REMANDED
