Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Louise W. Flanagan, District Judge. (5:15-cv-00110-FL)

Submitted: November 19, 2015 Decided: December 7, 2015

Before MOTZ, DUNCAN, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Emma Victoria Howard, Appellant Pro Se. Sonny Sade Haynes, WOMBLE CARLYLE SANDRIDGE & RICE, PLLC, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Emma Victoria Johnson Howard seeks to appeal the district

court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to

dismiss Howard’s

(2012) action in part and to

allow certain claims to proceed. 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 Howard 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
