Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at
Greensboro. L. Patrick Auld, Magistrate Judge. (1:19-cv-00710-UA-LPA)
Submitted: May 19, 2020 Decided: June 10, 2020
Before NIEMEYER, HARRIS, and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Derrick Michael Allen, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Derrick Allen seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s memorandum recommending
that the district court dismiss his complaint. 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). The order Allen seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order. 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
