PER CURIAM:
Wanda S. Hudson seeks to appeal the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing her civil complaint without
prejudice. 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 Hudson seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or
collateral order. See Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, Inc., 807 F.3d 619, 623-25 (4th
Cir. 2015). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction and remand the
case to the district court with instructions to allow Hudson to amend her complaint. See
id. at 630. We deny Hudson’s motion to appoint counsel and 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
