UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 18-2458 SHAWN L. ARMSTRONG, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. STATE OF MARYLAND; GREENBELT POLICE DEPT., Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Deborah K. Chasanow, Senior District Judge. (8:18-cv-01011-DKC) Submitted: June 6, 2019 Decided: June 27, 2019 Before NIEMEYER and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Shawn L. Armstrong, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Shawn L. Armstrong seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting additional time to file a supplemental complaint. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Armstrong seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and 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. DISMISSED 2
