UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-2275

JANE DOE, as Next Friend of Individuals Known to the

Defendant as Child 1 and Child 2 in the YKND Series,

Plaintiff – Appellee,

v.

NATHAN BROWN,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of

Maryland, at Baltimore. Marvin J. Garbis, Senior District

Judge. (1:14-cv-01094-MJG)

Submitted: February 27, 2015 Decided: March 11, 2015

Before MOTZ, WYNN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Nathan Brown, Appellant Pro Se. Steven Jonathan Kelly,

SILVERMAN, THOMPSON, SLUTKIN & WHITE, Baltimore, Maryland, for

Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Nathan Brown seeks to appeal the district court’s

orders denying his motion to dismiss the complaint, denying

Brown’s motion to add Defendants, granting the Plaintiff’s

motion to dismiss Brown’s counterclaims, and denying

reconsideration. 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). The orders Brown seeks to appeal are neither

final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We

also deny Brown’s motions for clarification of the record on

appeal and to correct the record. 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
