Derrick Allen v. Ted Wire

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 20-1105 DERRICK ALLEN, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. TED WIRE; ERIK MCCONCHIE, General Manager; WILL AUSTIN, Kitchen Manager; DAVE SIGUMUND, Kitchen Manager; CASEY HUMPHRIES, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. Thomas D. Schroeder, Chief District Judge. (1:19-cv-00689-TDS-LPA) Submitted: April 14, 2020 Decided: April 17, 2020 Before WILKINSON, QUATTLEBAUM, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Derrick Michael Allen, Sr., Appellant Pro Se. Asa Covington Edwards, IV, MAGINNIS LAW, PLLC, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Derrick Allen has noted an appeal in the civil action he filed in the district court. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2018), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2018); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). Because the district court has not entered a final order or an appealable interlocutory or collateral order, this appeal is interlocutory. Accordingly, we deny Allen’s motion to appoint counsel and 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 2
