Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. J. Frederick Motz, Senior District Judge. (1:13-cv-03911-JFM)

Submitted: December 18, 2014 Decided: December 22, 2014

Before SHEDD, WYNN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Bruce Wayne Koenig, Appellant Pro Se. Stephanie Judith Lane- Weber, Assistant Attorney General, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Bruce Wayne Koenig seeks to appeal the district

court’s order dismissing without prejudice Koenig’s co-plaintiff

and granting Koenig leave to proceed in forma pauperis. This

court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

(2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral

orders,

(2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.

Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

(1949). The

order Koenig 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
