SUSAN MATOUSEK,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
APPLE,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at
Norfolk. Raymond A. Jackson, District Judge. (2:18-cv-00500-RAJ-LRL)
Submitted: December 18, 2018 Decided: December 20, 2018
Before AGEE, THACKER, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed and remanded with instructions by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Susan Neal Matousek, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Susan Neal Matousek seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing her
complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) (2012) without prejudice as frivolous and for
failure to state a claim. 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 it is possible that Matousek could cure defects in her
complaint through amendment, the order she 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, 623-25, 628-30 (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 and remand the case to the district court with instructions
to allow Matousek 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 WITH INSTRUCTIONS
