U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Ronald Legg v. Chief Rhodes, 552 F. App'x 258 (4th Cir. 2014)

Ronald Legg v. Chief Rhodes

Opinion

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Ronald L. Legg seeks to appeal the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, granting summary judgment in favor of Defendant Rhodes, denying without prejudice Defendant Frebowitz’s motion for summary judgment, and staying the case pending the outcome of Legg’s criminal trial. 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., 387 U.S. 541, 545-46, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Legg 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED.
