United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted: Dec. 17, 2013.
Decided: Dec. 20, 2013.
Leroy Joseph Kelly, Appellant Pro Se.
Before KING, GREGORY, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Leroy Joseph Kelly seeks to appeal the district court's order dismissing without prejudice his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2006) petition for failure to abide by the order of the court. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Kelly seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Kelly may be able to save his petition by amending it to comply with the district court's 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. 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.
