Submitted: May 20, 2021                                           Decided: May 25, 2021

Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Coriante L. Pierce, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

      Coriante L. Pierce seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s recommendation to

dismiss without prejudice Pierce’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint.          We 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). The order Pierce seeks to appeal is neither a final

order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss this

appeal for lack of jurisdiction and deny Pierce’s motion to appoint counsel. 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

                                            2
