Howard v. Vance County Sheriff Dept.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Howard v. Vance County Sheriff Dept., 624 F. App'x 95 (4th Cir. 2015)

Howard v. Vance County Sheriff Dept.

Opinion of the Court

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action in part and to allow certain claims to proceed. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 *96U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); 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 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.
