OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
Ronald Graham seeks to appeal a final order subsequently vacated by the district court.  Graham did not file a new notice of appeal after the district court vacated its original order and entered a second final order.*  We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the vacated order is not appealable.  This Court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1988);  Fed.  R. Civ. P. 54(b);   Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).  There is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order before the Court.

2
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.  Leave to proceed in forma pauperis is denied.

DISMISSED

 Jurisdiction remained with the district court.   See Williams v. McKenzie, 576 F.2d 566, 570 (4th Cir. 1978)
