PER CURIAM:
Therl Taylor, a South Carolina prisoner, seeks to appeal
the district court’s order authorizing the South Carolina
Department of Corrections to collect a filing fee in this
action. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals no
such order in this case. See Taylor v. Undetermined, No. 2:15-
cv-00093-RMG-MGB (D.S.C.). To the extent Taylor seeks to appeal
the district court’s entry of his notice of voluntary dismissal,
we lack jurisdiction. See Dearth v. Mukasey, 516 F.3d 413, 415
(6th Cir. 2008) (“Generally, a plaintiff who requests or
consents to the dismissal of his action cannot appeal that
dismissal because it is not an involuntary adverse judgment.”).
Finally, Taylor’s challenge to the magistrate judge’s order
requiring him to bring the case into proper form is moot because
Taylor voluntarily dismissed the complaint.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. 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
