PER CURIAM:
Vincent Squire seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing without
prejudice Squire’s
42 U.S.C. § 1983action for failure to prosecute and providing Squire
the opportunity to file an amended complaint. This court may exercise jurisdiction only
over final orders,
28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,
28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,
337 U.S. 541, 545-46(1949). The order Squire seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable
interlocutory or collateral order. See Britt v. DeJoy,
45 F.4th 790, 793, 797(4th Cir. 2022)
(en banc) (order) (explaining that a district court’s “order that dismisses a complaint with
leave to amend is not a final decision” and that plaintiff must either file an amended
complaint in the district court or “request that the district court enter a final decision
dismissing [his] case without leave to amend”). 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
