Wenmoth v. Duncan

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Wenmoth v. Duncan, 358 F. App'x 399 (4th Cir. 2009)

Wenmoth v. Duncan

Opinion of the Court

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated cases, Andrew Wenmoth seeks to appeal the district court’s orders dismissing his complaint in part and denying his motion to alter or amend the district’s order. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); 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 orders Wenmoth seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appeal-able interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we deny Wenmoth’s motions for stays pending appeal and dismiss the appeals 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.
