PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated cases, Sundari Karma Prasad seeks to appeal the district
court’s orders dismissing without prejudice two of Prasad’s pending 42 U.S.C. § 1983
(2012) actions for failure to adequately comply with the magistrate judge’s orders to
further particularize her complaints. 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 amended complaints, we conclude that the orders Prasad seeks
to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Goode
v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 623-24 (4th Cir. 2015); Domino Sugar
Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993).
Accordingly, we dismiss these appeals 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
*
We do not remand either of these matters to the district court, though, because
the court previously afforded Prasad the chance to amend her complaints, and she failed
to do so. Cf. Goode, 807 F.3d at 629-30.
