Circuit Court for Calvert County Case No. C-04-CV-22-000148
Reed, Ripken, Kenney, James A., III (Senior Judge, Specially Assigned), JJ.
OPINION
PER CURIAM
Ghislane Paul, appellant, filed a notice of appeal following the denial, by the Circuit Court for Calvert County, of a motion to reconsider the denial of a "Motion for In Banc Review." But, in her brief, Ms. Paul challenges the court's dismissal, without prejudice, of a "Petition for Action to Obtain Medical Records" and award of "30 days leave to refile." Appellees Patuxent Cardiology Associates, LLC, and Vasundhara Muthu, M.D., move to dismiss the appeal "to the extent that it seeks review of matters beyond the lower court's denial/dismissal of the In Banc Review as untimely and corresponding Motion for Reconsideration."
We grant appellees' motion. We have stated that "an order dismissing claims without prejudice and granting leave to file an amended complaint is not a final judgment, and therefore is not appealable." Doe v. Sovereign Grace Ministries, 217 Md.App. 650, 661 (2014) (citations and emphasis omitted). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
APPEAL DISMISSED. COSTS TO BE PAID BY APPELLANT.
