PER CURIAM:
Bruce E. Kenney and Milton Townsend seek to appeal the
district court’s order dismissing several claims and defendants in
their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action. The order did not dismiss
all parties and claims. 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). See
Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,
337
U.S. 541 (1949). The order Kenney and Townsend seek 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
