Coriante L. Pierce, Appellant Pro Se.
UNPUBLISHED
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. Joi Elizabeth Peake, Magistrate Judge. (1:20-cv-00711-WO-JEP) 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 Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.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 Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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
