Dorarena Boyd, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Dorarena Boyd seeks to appeal the district court’s order

dismissing her civil action without prejudice. This court may

exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

28 U.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

(1949). Because the

deficiencies identified by the district court may be remedied by

the filing of an amended complaint, we conclude that the order

Boyd seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable

interlocutory or collateral order. See Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal

Aid Soc’y, Inc.,

807 F.3d 619, 623

(4th Cir. 2015).

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
