SHERIDAN, in his individual and/or his official capacity; MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Ellen L. Hollander, District Judge. (1:18-cv-03545-ELH) Submitted: September 24, 2020 Decided: September 28, 2020 Before HARRIS and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Lamar A. Williams, Appellant Pro Se. Glenn Todd Marrow, BALTIMORE COUNTY OFFICE OF LAW, Towson, Maryland, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Lamar A. Williams seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing or granting summary judgment on all claims against Andrew Maggio, granting one of Williams’ motions to join an additional defendant but denying three others, and resolving a variety of other motions. Williams also seeks to appeal the district court’s subsequent order denying Williams’ motion to alter or amend the judgment. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The orders Williams seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we deny his motion to suspend proceedings, grant Appellees’ motion to dismiss, 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 3
