Peggy Rhem, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.




                                            2
PER CURIAM:

      Peggy Rhem seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing her civil

complaint without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction. 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 Rhem could cure the

defects in her complaint through amendment, the order she seeks to appeal is neither a

final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Blitz v. Napolitano, 
700 F.3d 733
, 738 (4th Cir. 2012).       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
