PER CURIAM:
Kenneth Bryant appeals the district court’s order
dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012)
complaint for failure to notify the court of his change of
address. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final
orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and
collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P.
54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541,
545-46 (1949). Because Bryant may proceed with his claims by
filing another complaint and providing an accurate address, the
order he seeks to appeal is neither a final order with respect
to those claims nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral
order. Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10
F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993). 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
