PER CURIAM:

     Brett C. Kimberlin seeks to appeal the district court’s

order dismissing some but not all of his claims in his civil

action.     This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final

orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and

collateral    orders,    28    U.S.C.   § 1292   (2012);    Fed.      R.    Civ.   P.

54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 
337 U.S. 541
, 545-

46 (1949).        The order Kimberlin seeks to appeal is neither a

final     order   nor   an     appealable     interlocutory      or    collateral

order.     See Stevenson v. City of Seat Pleasant, 
743 F.3d 411
,

415-16 (4th Cir. 2014) (citations omitted).                   Accordingly, we

dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.               We deny the motion

for sanctions as moot.          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
