Meadows v. Charles County School Board of Education
Meadows v. Charles County School Board of Education
Opinion
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
On May 1, 2017, Debra F. Meadows filed a notice of appeal in her pending civil case that did not clearly state the order she sought to appeal. In her informal brief, Meadows references the magistrate judge’s January 25, 2017, order denying her motion for a protective order. 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Meadows seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny Meadows’ motion for oral argument and 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
