Anthony James-Myers, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 24-6788 Doc: 12 Filed: 11/19/2024 Pg: 2 of 2

Anthony James-Myers filed a notice of appeal instead of responding to the motion

to dismiss or for summary judgment that Defendant filed in James-Myers’ pending

42 U.S.C. § 1983

action. 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). Presently, the

record does not contain a final order or an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

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.
