PER CURIAM:
Gerald Damone Hopper seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion
for reconsideration of a previous order dismissing some, but not all, defendants in Hopper’s
civil rights action. Hopper’s case remains pending in the district court against the
remaining defendant. 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). The order
Hopper seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral
order. Accordingly, we 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
