BARTLETT v. SMITH (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Robert Andrew BARTLETT, Sr., Plaintiff - Appellant, v. Paula SMITH; Brad Perritt; Larry Thompson; Jamese Smith; Diedre Harrelson; Patsy Chavis; Nurse Palmer, Defendants - Appellees.

No. 19-6475

Decided: August 23, 2019

Before FLOYD and RUSHING, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge. Robert Andrew Bartlett, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.

Robert Andrew Bartlett, Sr., seeks to appeal the district court's order dismissing some, but not all, of his claims in his civil action. 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Bartlett seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we 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.
