PER CURIAM:
Geoffrey William Hine seeks to appeal the district court’s
order dismissing without prejudice his complaint filed pursuant
to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of
Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). 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 Hine seeks
to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable
interlocutory or collateral order. See Goode v. Central Va.
Legal Aid, 807 F.3d 619 (4th Cir. 2015). Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, and remand the case
to the district court with instructions to allow Hine to file an
amended complaint. 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 AND REMANDED
