    The document is a court case from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit from 1996. Rahim E.H. Muhammad X appealed a district court order that continued his civil rights case for 90 days and required him to exhaust administrative remedies through the inmate grievance process. The Fourth Circuit dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the district court's order was not a final judgment and did not fall under the limited categories of appealable interlocutory orders. The appeals court found the order was interlocutory and not subject to appeal.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Sept. 24, 1996.
    Decided Oct. 9, 1996.

    Rahim E.H. Muhammad X, Appellant Pro Se. Mark Ralph Davis,


    OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond,
    Virginia; Mark Dudley Obenshain, WHARTON, ALDHIZER &
    WEAVER, Harrisonburg, Virginia, for Appellees.
    W.D.Va.
    DISMISSED.
    Before MURNAGHAN, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Rahim E.H. Muhammad X appeals from the district court's order continuing his
    42 U.S.C. 1983 (1994) action for ninety days and ordering him to exhaust

    inmate grievance procedures. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction


    because the order is not appealable. This court may exercise jurisdiction only
    over final orders, 28 U.S.C. 1291 (1994), and certain interlocutory and
    collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. 1292 (1994); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v.
    Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order here appealed is
    neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
    2

    We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. 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.
