PER CURIAM:
Shannon Keenan Greene filed three separate lawsuits arising from her former
employment with the City of Virginia Beach (“Defendant”). The district court issued an
order administratively closing two of her cases—including the instant case—and directed
Greene to file an amended complaint in the third action that included all of her claims
against Defendant. Greene seeks to appeal the administrative closure of the instant case.
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 Greene seeks to
appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See
Campbell-McCormick, Inc. v. Oliver, 874 F.3d 390, 394-95 (4th Cir. 2017); Penn-Am. Ins.
Co. v. Mapp, 521 F.3d 290, 295-96 (4th Cir. 2008).
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
