Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Peter J. Messitte, District Judge. (CA- 03-517-PJM)

Submitted: November 19, 2003 Decided: December 5, 2003

Before WILKINSON and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Demetric Gray Pearson, Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Gloria Wilson Shelton, Stephanie Judith Lane Weber, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Demetric Gray Pearson seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying his motion to add additional allegations to his

(2000) complaint. This court may exercise

jurisdiction only over final orders,

(2000), and

certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

(2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan

Corp.,

(1949). The order Pearson 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 the

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
