PER CURIAM:
Jonathan James Newell seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his
42 U.S.C. § 1983complaint for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted
under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). 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).
“Ordinarily, a district court order is not final until it has resolved all claims as to all parties.”
Porter v. Zook,
803 F.3d 694, 696(4th Cir. 2015) (internal quotation marks omitted).
Our review of the record reveals that the district court did not adjudicate all of the
claims raised in the complaint.
Id. at 696-97. Specifically, the district court did not address
Newell’s claim that he was not provided proper notice to pay the fee for certified copies
prior to the rejection of his state appeal. We conclude that the order Newell seeks to appeal
is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction and remand to the district court for consideration
of the unresolved claim.
Id. at 699.
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 AND REMANDED
