        PER CURIAM:

               Eric Morrison seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his amended

        Bivens ∗ complaint for failure to state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). This

        court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain

        interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.

        Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). “Ordinarily, a district court

        order is not final until it has resolved all claims as to all parties.” Porter v. Zook, 803 F.3d

        694, 696 (4th Cir. 2015) (internal quotation marks omitted).

               Our review of the record reveals that the district court did not adjudicate all of the

        claims raised in the complaint. Id. at 696-97. Specifically, the court failed to address

        Morrison’s allegation that Nurse Meyer’s failure to administer the medication prescribed

        at the hospital caused severe issues in his right eye and another hospitalization. We

        conclude that the order Morrison seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable

        interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction

        and remand to the district court for consideration of the unresolved claim. Id. at 699.

               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
