PER CURIAM:

Therl Taylor, a South Carolina prisoner, seeks to appeal 

the district court’s order authorizing the South Carolina 

Department of Corrections to collect a filing fee in this 

action. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals no 

such order in this case. See Taylor v. Undetermined, No. 2:15-

cv-00093-RMG-MGB (D.S.C.). To the extent Taylor seeks to appeal 

the district court’s entry of his notice of voluntary dismissal, 

we lack jurisdiction. See Dearth v. Mukasey, 516 F.3d 413, 415 

(6th Cir. 2008) (“Generally, a plaintiff who requests or 

consents to the dismissal of his action cannot appeal that 

dismissal because it is not an involuntary adverse judgment.”). 

Finally, Taylor’s challenge to the magistrate judge’s order 

requiring him to bring the case into proper form is moot because 

Taylor voluntarily dismissed the complaint.

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. 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
