Sundari K. Prasad, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

                                            2
PER CURIAM:

      In these consolidated cases, Sundari K. Prasad seeks to appeal the district court’s

orders dismissing without prejudice two of Prasad’s pending 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012)

actions for failure to adequately comply with the magistrate judge’s orders to submit

second particularized complaints. 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, 545-47 (1949). Because the deficiencies identified by the district court may be

remedied by supplementing the complaints as directed, we conclude that the orders

Prasad seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral

orders. Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 623-24 (4th Cir. 2015);

Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir.

1993). Accordingly, we dismiss these appeals 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

      *
        We do not remand either of these matters to the district court, though, because
the court previously and repeatedly afforded Prasad the chance to further particularize
and amend her complaints, and she failed to do so. Cf. Goode, 807 F.3d at 629-30.
