Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Emma Victoria Howard, Appellant Pro Se. Sonny Sade Haynes,
WOMBLE CARLYLE SANDRIDGE & RICE, PLLC, Winston-Salem, North
Carolina, for Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Emma Victoria Johnson Howard seeks to appeal the district
court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to
dismiss Howard’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action in part and to
allow certain claims to proceed. 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). The order Howard seeks
to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable
interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the
appeal 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
