UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 12-2151

JOSEPHAT MUA,

Plaintiff – Appellant,

v.

BOARD OF EDUCATION OF PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Peter J. Messitte, Senior District Judge. (8:11-cv-01198-PJM)

Submitted: January 17, 2013 Decided: February 13, 2013

Before NIEMEYER, DIAZ, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Josephat Mua, Appellant Pro Se. James Edward Fisher, Abbey G. Hairston, THATCHER LAW FIRM, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Josephat Mua seeks to appeal the district court’s

order dismissing Count V of his complaint, staying the remainder

of his claims, and administratively closing his case pending

resolution of his state and county administrative proceedings.

This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

(2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral

orders,

(2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.

Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

(1949). The

order Mua 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 also deny Mua’s

motion to appoint counsel. We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented

in the materials before this court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.

DISMISSED
