PER CURIAM:

Jerome Garcia seeks to appeal the district court’s order adopting the magistrate

judge’s recommendation and dismissing Garcia’s

complaint against the

South Carolina Department of Social Services Child Support Agency (“DSS”) and DSS

attorney Gayle Watson. 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).

“Ordinarily, a district court order is not final until it has resolved all claims as to all parties.”

Porter v. Zook,

(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.

. Specifically, the court failed to address

Garcia’s allegations against Watson, who Garcia named as a defendant in the original

complaint, and his claim pursuant to Monell v. Dep’t of Soc. Servs.,

(1978).

We conclude that the order Garcia 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 claims. See Porter,

.

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
