PER CURIAM:

Robert E. Sampson seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1988 (2012) complaint as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) (2012).’ This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291,(2012), and certain interlocutory 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Sampson seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See 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 and remand the case to the district court with instructions to allow Sampson to file an amended complaint. See Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, 807 F.3d 619, 630 (4th Cir.2015). 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 AND REMANDED.
