Jevon Anthony Ward, Appellant Pro Se.
UNPUBLISHED
Submitted: June 15, 2023
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Terrence W. Boyle, District Judge. (5:02-cr-00034-BO-1)
Jevon Anthony Ward, Appellant Pro Se.
Before DIAZ, RICHARDSON, and HEYTENS, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Jevon Anthony Ward seeks to appeal the district court's order (a) denying Ward's motion for compassionate release and to clarify the amended criminal judgment imposed in October 2019; and (b) dismissing Ward's 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion in part but allowing one of the advanced claims to proceed. This court 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 that Ward seeks to appeal is neither a final order, given that litigation on his remaining § 2255 claim is ongoing, nor is it an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss this 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
