U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 91 F.3d 132 (4th Cir. 1996) Submitted: June 20, 1996Decided: July 9, 1996

Davey James Reedy, Appellant Pro Se.

Before HALL, WILKINS, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant appeals the dismissal without prejudice of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. The district court dismissed Appellant's complaint because he failed to allege that he suffered a deprivation of a constitutional right. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1988); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993).

We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
