Adams v. Johnson

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Adams v. Johnson, 146 F. App'x 698 (4th Cir. 2005)

Adams v. Johnson

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM:

Jerry Lewis Adams seeks to appeal the district court’s order ordering him to submit the required number of copies of his complaint and denying his motion to *699amend. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Adams 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 deny Adams’ motion for joinder of separate claims and his motion to file a supplemental informal brief. 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
