Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Jorge Gevara, Appellant Pro Se. Peter Andrew Regulski, Assistant Attorney General, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee Betty Inpold.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Jorge Gevara seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying reconsideration of its previous order denying

Gevara’s motion to amend his complaint. 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, 545-47 (1949). The order Gevara 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 the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

DISMISSED
