Charles M. Cassell, III, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Charles M. Cassell, III, seeks to appeal the district

court’s order providing him twenty days to file an amended

complaint in compliance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 8. This court may

exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291

(2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28

U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial

Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The orders Cassell

seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable

interlocutory or collateral orders. 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 the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

DISMISSED
