                                            2
PER CURIAM:

       Thomas Raymond Firriolo seeks to appeal the district court’s order accepting the

magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing without prejudice his civil complaint.

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). Because it is

possible that Firriolo could cure the defects in his complaint through amendment, the

district court’s order he seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable

interlocutory or collateral order. See Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, 807 F.3d 619,

623-25, 628-30 (4th Cir. 2015).        Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of

jurisdiction and remand the case to the district court with instructions to allow Firriolo to

file an amended complaint. We deny Firriolo’s motions to appoint counsel, to order an

investigation, and to subpoena records, as well as his recent motion for an extension of

time to file additional supplemental briefs in this appeal.

       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

                                              3
