PER CURIAM:
Tornello Fontaine Pierce El Bey seeks to appeal the
district court’s order dismissing his complaint without
prejudice. 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-
56 (1949). We conclude that the order Pierce El Bey seeks to
appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory
or collateral order. See Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y,
Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 623-24, 629-30 (4th Cir. 2015).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, and
remand to the district court with instructions to allow Pierce
El Bey 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
