Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 25-6272 Doc: 18 Filed: 10/21/2025 Pg: 2 of 2 PER CURIAM: Walter Lee Wright seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing in part Wright’s amended complaint and denying Wright’s motions to amend the complaint and substitute a party. 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 Wright seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. 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 2
