PER CURIAM:
Roman Clement seeks to appeal a September 6, 2022, order related to the dismissal
of some, but not all, of the claims raised in Clement’s 42 U.S.C. § 1981 civil action. 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 Clement seeks to
appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order, and the
district court’s docket confirms that the underlying litigation is ongoing. Accordingly, we
grant Defendant’s motion to dismiss and dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We
deny Clement’s motion for appointment of counsel. 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
