PER CURIAM:

John Cutonilli seeks to appeal the district court’s order 

granting, in part, and denying without prejudice, in part, the 

State of Maryland’s motion to dismiss Cutonilli’s claims 

challenging Maryland’s Firearm Safety Act of 2013, Md. Code 

Ann., Crim. L. §§ 4-301 to 4-306 (LexisNexis 2015), as violative 

of Maryland’s Constitution and the Second and Fourteenth 

Amendments to the United States Constitution. 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 

Cutonilli seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an 

appealable interlocutory or collateral order. 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
