US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 14 F.3d 595 (4th Cir. 1994) Submitted Dec. 16, 1993. Decided Jan. 20, 1994

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Newport, News. J. Calvitt Clarke, Jr., Senior District Judge. (CA-93-13-4)

Monroe Roosevelt Parker, Reverend, appellant pro se.

E.D. Va.

DISMISSED.

Before HALL and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and SPROUSE, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant appeals from a district court order which gave him thirty days to particularize his complaint. 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.

We deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and 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.
