PER CURIAM:
Glenda Falwell and Keith Falwell seek to appeal the district court’s order dismissing
their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint without prejudice and granting them leave to file an
amended complaint. 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
Appellants seek to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or
collateral order. See Britt v. DeJoy, 45 F.4th 790, 796 (4th Cir. 2022). 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
