PER CURIAM:
Lawrence Donnell Lewis seeks to appeal the district court’s
order dismissing his civil complaint. 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, 545-47 (1949). Because the
deficiencies identified by the district court were remedied by
the filing of a consent form, we conclude that the order Lewis
seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable
interlocutory or collateral order. Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid
Soc’y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 623 (4th Cir. 2015); Domino Sugar
Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67
(4th Cir. 1993).
Accordingly, we 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
