UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 19-7147 DERVAN BROWN, a/k/a Lester Henry Kearney, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. SHAWN BRIDGET, Administrator, Warren County Detention Center; JOHNNY WILLIAMS, Sheriff; WARREN COUNTY DETENTION CENTER, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Terrence W. Boyle, Chief District Judge. (5:18-ct-03315-BO) Submitted: October 4, 2019 Decided: November 12, 2019 Before NIEMEYER, KEENAN, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Dervan Brown, Appellant Pro Se. Rudolf Alexander Garcia-Gallont, WOMBLE BOND DICKINSON (US) LLP, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Dervan Brown seeks to appeal the district court’s orders dismissing some but not all of the claims raised in Brown’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) civil rights action. 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 orders Brown seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. 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. DISMISSED 2
