My'Ka El v. R. Harris

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 20-1397 MY’KA EL, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. R. HARRIS, Judicial Official; STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA; MECKLENBURG COUNTY, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Robert J. Conrad, Jr., District Judge. (3:20-cv-00016-RJC-DSC) Submitted: June 11, 2020 Decided: August 7, 2020 Before WYNN, HARRIS, and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. My’Ka El, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: My’Ka El seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his civil action in part and granting him 30 days within which to file an amended 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 El seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny El’s motion for the appointment of 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
