PER CURIAM:

Henry Lewis Astrop seeks to appeal the district court’s 

order dismissing his civil complaint without prejudice for lack 

of subject matter jurisdiction. 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 Astrop seeks 

to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable 

interlocutory or collateral order. See Goode v. Central Va. 

Legal Aid, 807 F.3d 619 (4th Cir. 2015). Accordingly, we 

dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, and remand the case 

to the district court with instructions to allow Astrop to file 

an amended complaint. 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
