UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 12-6356 JAMES A. WARREN, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. STATE OF MARYLAND; WARDEN GREGORY T. HERSHBERGER; CAMELLIA ROSEMAN; MS. GRIMMITT, Case Manager, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Alexander Williams, Jr., District Judge. (8:10-cv-02971-AW) Submitted: April 26, 2012 Decided: May 1, 2012 Before GREGORY, AGEE, and WYNN, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. James A. Warren, Appellant Pro Se. Stephanie Judith Lane Weber, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: James A. Warren appeals the district court’s order granting in part, and denying in part, the Defendants’ motion for summary judgment on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint. We dismiss Warren’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders. 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order Warren seeks to appeal is not a final order, nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. 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. DISMISSED 2
