PER CURIAM:

Carlos Demond Robinson seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his 

motion for sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(B) (2018) and the First Step 

Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194 (2018). We may exercise jurisdiction 

only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2018), and certain interlocutory and collateral 

orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2018). “Ordinarily, a district court order is not final until it has 

resolved all claims as to all parties.” Porter v. Zook, 803 F.3d 694, 696 (4th Cir. 2015) 

(internal quotation marks omitted). 

Our review of the record reveals that the district court did not adjudicate all of the 

claims Robinson raised in his motion for sentence reduction. Robinson requested that the 

district court reduce his sentences for trafficking in cocaine base, pursuant to Section 404 

of the First Step Act, and vacate his § 924(c) convictions, in light of Section 403’s 

amendments to that statute. The district court denied Robinson’s request in part, finding 

that Section 403 of the First Step Act is non-retroactive and therefore affords Robinson no 

relief regarding his § 924(c) convictions. The district court, however, did not address 

Robinson’s request for relief under Section 404 of the First Step Act. Accordingly, we 

conclude that the order Robinson seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable 

interlocutory or collateral order. We therefore dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction 

and remand to the district court for consideration of the unresolved claim. 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 AND REMANDED
