PER CURIAM:
Leonard Lee Haley seeks to appeal the district court’s order partially dismissing
Haley’s complaint for failure to state a claim. This court may exercise jurisdiction only
over final orders, 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, 545-46 (1949). “Ordinarily, a district court order is not final until it has resolved all
claims as to all parties.” Porter v. Zook, 803 F.3d 694, 696 (4th Cir. 2015) (internal
quotation marks omitted).
Our review of the record reveals that the district court did not adjudicate all the
claims raised in the complaint. Id. at 696-97. Specifically, although the district court
granted six of the named defendants’ motions to dismiss, it did not rule on Haley’s claims
against Corizon Health, Inc., Dr. Howard Cook, and Dr. Ashok Krishnaswamy, and it did
not enter a final judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b). Accordingly, the order Haley
seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
We therefore dismiss the 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
