                             - 2 -
PER CURIAM:

          Bobby Archer seeks to appeal the district court’s order

dismissing the Dillwyn Correctional Center as a party defendant

from his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action.      This court may exercise

jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and

certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292

(2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan

Corp., 

 (1949).   The order Archer 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

the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.



                                                              DISMISSED
