PER CURIAM: 

Anthony Quentin Kelly seeks to appeal the district court’s 

order dismissing his complaint 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, 545-46 (1949). The 

order Kelly 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 Kelly to file an amended complaint. See

Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 630 (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 AND REMANDED
