PER CURIAM:
Lawrence Charles seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting in part and
denying in part the Defendants’ motion to dismiss. 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 Charles 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 further grant Charles’s motion to amend the informal brief, and we deny
Charles’s motions for sanctions. 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
