See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          Joseph Grayson Ward seeks to appeal the district court’s

order accepting in part the recommendation of the magistrate judge

and granting partial summary judgment on his complaint filed

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000).      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 Ward 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
