WRIGHT v. UNITED STATES (2020)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Victor Wardell WRIGHT, Petitioner-Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Respondent-Appellee.

No. 20-6700

Decided: December 29, 2020

Before NIEMEYER, FLOYD, and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges.

Victor Wardell Wright, Appellant Pro Se.

Victor Wardell Wright seeks to appeal the district court's order placing his case in abeyance pending resolution of United States v. Proctor, No. 19-7071. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; 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 order Wright seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. In light of this disposition, we deny Wright's motion to amend. 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.
