Banc); Jayme Miller, USM; Tom Ashecraft, U.S.
Atty., Defendants--Appellees.
No. 96-6008.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted May 16, 1996
Decided June 27, 1996
Robert Calvin Craig, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.
Before RUSSELL, LUTTIG, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing this action for failure to plainly state his claims. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1988); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. The motion to stay is denied.
DISMISSED
