ALTHEA MARIE HUGHES v. BANK OF AMERICA (2017)

Althea Marie Hughes seeks to appeal the district court's order dismissing her civil complaint without prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (2012). This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). Because Hughes may be able to remedy the deficiencies identified by the district court by filing an amended complaint stating sufficient facts to support her claims, the order Hughes seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Goode v. Central Va. Legal Aid Soc'y, 807 F.3d 619, 623-24 (4th Cir. 2015); Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction and remand the case to the district court with instructions to allow Hughes to file an amended complaint. We deny Hughes' motion for transcripts at government expense. 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 AND REMANDED
