John A. BELL, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. CONMED, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 13-6147.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: April 25, 2013.
    Decided: April 30, 2013.
    John A. Bell, Appellant Pro Se.
    Before AGEE and WYNN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
   Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

John A. Bell seeks to appeal the district court’s dismissal without prejudice of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint for failing to abide by the order of the court. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Bell seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Bell may be able to save his action by particularizing his complaint and amending it to comply with the district court’s order. See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir.1993). Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauper-is 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.
