Jerry L. Adams, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Jerry L. Adams seeks to appeal the district court’s order

dismissing without prejudice his

42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2000) complaint

for failing to submit three copies of the complaint or to file a

concise amended complaint. 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

(1949). The order Adams seeks to appeal is neither a final

order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See

Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392,

10 F.3d 1064, 1067

(4th Cir. 1993). 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
