District of Virginia, at Roanoke. Glen E. Conrad, Chief
District Judge. (7:15-cv-00465-GEC-RSB)

Robert E. Sampson, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Robert E. Sampson seeks to appeal the district court’s
order dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012)
complaint as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i)
(2012). This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final
orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory
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 Sampson seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See Domino Sugar
Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67
(4th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of
jurisdiction and remand the case to the district court with
instructions to allow Sampson to file an amended complaint. See
Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, 807 F.3d 619, 630 (4th Cir.
2015). 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 AND REMANDED
