Alphonso Bell, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Alphonso Bell, Sr., seeks to appeal the district court’s orders dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint and denying as moot his subsequent motion to appoint counsel. 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- (1949). Because the district court dismissed Bell’s complaint without prejudice to refiling his improperly joined claims in separate complaints, we conclude that the orders Bell seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. See Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 623-24 (4th Cir. 2015); Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993). 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

* Because Bell has since complied with the district court’s direction to file separate complaints, we need not remand with instructions to allow Bell to amend the instant complaint. See Goode, 807 F.3d at 630.
