PER CURIAM:
Tigress Sydney Acute McDaniel seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing
without prejudice some of the claims raised in McDaniel’s pro se civil action, but allowing
other claims to proceed following 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) review. 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 that McDaniel seeks to appeal is neither a
final order, given that litigation on her remaining claims is ongoing, nor is it an appealable
interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we 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
