Wise David Allen, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Wise David Allen seeks to appeal the district court order

dismissing his complaint without prejudice. 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 Allen 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
