PER CURIAM:

Shannon Keenan Greene filed three separate lawsuits arising from her former

employment with the City of Virginia Beach (“Defendant”). The district court issued an

order administratively closing two of her cases—including the instant case—and directed

Greene to file an amended complaint in the third action that included all of her claims

against Defendant. Greene seeks to appeal the administrative closure of the instant case.

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 Greene seeks to

appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See

Campbell-McCormick, Inc. v. Oliver,

874 F.3d 390, 394-95

(4th Cir. 2017); Penn-Am. Ins.

Co. v. Mapp,

521 F.3d 290, 295-96

(4th Cir. 2008).

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
