SIRLEAF AS NEXT FRIEND FOR ISRAEL v. CLARKE (2019)

Momolu V.S. Sirleaf seeks to appeal the district court's orders dismissing his civil action without prejudice and denying reconsideration. We 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The orders that Sirleaf seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. See Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc'y, 807 F.3d 619, 629-30 (4th Cir. 2015). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, deny the pending motions, and remand the case to the district court with instructions to give Sirleaf another opportunity to amend his complaint. 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
