Bush v. Southern Management Corp.

42 F. App'x 595
Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit·Decided July 31, 2002·No. No. 02-1635·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Barbara Michelle Bush appeals the district court’s order denying without prejudice her motion to voluntarily dismiss the action. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1994); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. Bush’s motions for appointment of counsel, for emergency relief, and for general relief are denied. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED.
