PER CURIAM:

Clifton Reece seeks to appeal the district court’s order

dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) 

complaint for failing to comply with a court order. 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). 

Because the deficiencies identified by the district court may be 

remedied by the filing of an amended complaint, we conclude that

the order Reece seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an 

appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See 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 and remand the case to the district court with 

instructions to allow Reece to file an amended complaint. See

Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 623-24 

(4th Cir. 2015). 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 & REMANDED
