SHOMARI E. NORMAN, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. EVONNE S. HOPKINS, Attorney; JUDGE LORI CHRISTIAN; MARC ANTHONY, Attorney; NC CHILD SUPPORT AGENCY, Defendants - Appellees.
Shomari E. Norman, Appellant Pro Se.
UNPUBLISHED
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Dever III, District Judge. (5:18-cv-00343-D) Before WYNN and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Shomari E. Norman, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Shomari E. Norman seeks to appeal the district court's order adopting the magistrate judge's recommendation and dismissing Norman's claim against one of the Defendants, Lori Christian, as barred by judicial immunity. 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 Norman seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and 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
