MAYOR LEVAR STONEY, Mayor of the City of Richmond VA; IVAN GILMORE, Warden of Sussex I State Prison; MARK RANKIN HERRING; RICHARD CARSON VORHIS, Assistant Attorney General,

Appeals from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Arenda L. Wright Allen, District Judge. (2:20-cv-00122-AWA-DEM; 2:20-cv- 00469-AWA-DEM)

Submitted: June 14, 2021 Decided: June 29, 2021

Before NIEMEYER, MOTZ, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

David Meyers, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

2 PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals, David Meyers has filed interlocutory appeals from

the district court’s nonfinal order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for lack of

jurisdiction.

Before considering an appeal, we must ensure we have jurisdiction. See Clark v.

Cartledge, 829 F.3d 303, 305 (4th Cir. 2016) (recognizing our obligation to consider

questions of jurisdiction sua sponte). We may exercise jurisdiction only over final

decisions, 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-

47 (1949). “Generally, a district court order is not final until it has resolved all claims as

to all parties.” Hunter v. Town of Mocksville, 789 F.3d 389, 402 (4th Cir. 2015) (internal

quotation marks omitted).

Here, Meyers appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice all of

Meyers’ motions in these two cases except for his motions for leave to proceed in forma

pauperis. Because the court has yet to resolve all the claims and no exception applies, we

lack jurisdiction.

Accordingly, we dismiss these appeals for lack of jurisdiction. We deny as moot

Meyers’ motions for leave to proceed without prepayment of fees under the Prison

Litigation Reform Act. 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
