PER CURIAM: 

Robert A. Williamson seeks to appeal the district court’s 

order dismissing his civil action without prejudice. 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 may be 

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

the order Williamson 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, 623-24 (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
