PER CURIAM:
Phillip O’Briant seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting the motion to
dismiss his claims against one of the Defendants. 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 order that O’Briant seeks to appeal is neither a
final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we grant the
motion to dismiss this 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
