USCA4 Appeal: 24-1637 Doc: 50 Filed: 09/23/2024 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Wilson Ochar seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his civil action without prejudice and permitting him 21 days 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 Ochar seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Britt v. DeJoy, 45 F.4th 790, 796 (4th Cir. 2022) (en banc) (“When a district court grants a plaintiff leave to amend but []he chooses not to do so,” the court’s decision is “not . . . final and, thus, not appealable.”).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. In addition, we deny each of Ochar’s pending motions. 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
