PER CURIAM:

Lawrence Donnell Lewis seeks to appeal the district court’s 

order dismissing his civil 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, 545-47 (1949). Because the 

deficiencies identified by the district court were remedied by 

the filing of a consent form, we conclude that the order Lewis 

seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable 

interlocutory or collateral order. Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid 

Soc’y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 623 (4th Cir. 2015); Domino Sugar 

Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 

(4th Cir. 1993).

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
