PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, David Meyers has filed interlocutory appeals from
the district court’s nonfinal order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for lack of
jurisdiction.
Before considering an appeal, we must ensure we have jurisdiction. See Clark v.
Cartledge, 829 F.3d 303, 305 (4th Cir. 2016) (recognizing our obligation to consider
questions of jurisdiction sua sponte). We may exercise jurisdiction only over final
decisions, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-
47 (1949). “Generally, a district court order is not final until it has resolved all claims as
to all parties.” Hunter v. Town of Mocksville, 789 F.3d 389, 402 (4th Cir. 2015) (internal
quotation marks omitted).
Here, Meyers appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice all of
Meyers’ motions in these two cases except for his motions for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis. Because the court has yet to resolve all the claims and no exception applies, we
lack jurisdiction.
Accordingly, we dismiss these appeals for lack of jurisdiction. We deny as moot
Meyers’ motions for leave to proceed without prepayment of fees under the Prison
Litigation Reform Act. 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
