Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Theodore D. Chuang, District Judge. (8:18-cv-02014-TDC) Submitted: December 22, 2020 Decided: December 28, 2020 Before NIEMEYER, FLOYD, and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Jane Doe, Appellant Pro Se. Jason L. Levine, LOCAL GOVERNMENT INSURANCE TRUST, Hanover, Maryland; Alexandra Renee Hilton, Megan Trocki Mantzavinos, MARKS, O’NEILL, O’BRIEN, DOHERTY & KELLY, P.C., Towson, Maryland, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Jane Doe seeks to appeal the district court’s orders dismissing some, but not all, of the Defendants and claims in Doe’s civil rights action. 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 Doe 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 3
