UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 13-6147
JOHN A. BELL,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
CONMED,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Alexandria. James C. Cacheris, Senior
District Judge. (1:12-cv-01300-JCC-JFA)
Submitted: April 25, 2013 Decided: April 30, 2013
Before AGEE and WYNN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
John A. Bell, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
John A. Bell seeks to appeal the district court’s
dismissal without prejudice of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006)
complaint for failing to abide by the order of the court. This
court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28
U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral
orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.
Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The
order Bell seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Bell may be able
to save his action by particularizing his complaint and amending
it to comply with the district court’s order. See Domino Sugar
Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67
(4th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma
pauperis 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
