Wilson Ochar, Appellant Pro Se. Kristin A. Zech, BERENZWEIG LEONARD, LLP, McLean, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 24-1649 Doc: 43 Filed: 09/24/2024 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. Appellee

moves to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

, and

certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen

v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

(1949). The order Ochar seeks to

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

DeJoy,

(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 grant Appellee’s motion and 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
