Carter v. Clarendon County Fire Department

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Carter v. Clarendon County Fire Department, 458 F. App'x 260 (4th Cir. 2011)

Carter v. Clarendon County Fire Department

Opinion of the Court

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Charles E. Carter seeks to appeal the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting summary judgment to the Clarendon County Fire Department. 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, 545-46, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Carter 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.
