Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at
Roanoke. Glen E. Conrad, District Judge. (7:17-cv-00438-GEC-RSB)
Submitted: February 21, 2019 Decided: February 26, 2019
Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and AGEE and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Leonard Thomas Witt, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Leonard Thomas Witt seeks to appeal two orders entered in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
(2012) civil rights action, the first of which fully granted summary judgment to one group
of Defendants. The second order partially dismissed Witt’s claims against other
Defendants, but did not dismiss all claims as to all Defendants. 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). Because litigation remains ongoing
against at least one named Defendant, the orders Witt seeks to appeal are neither final
orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we dismiss the
appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We deny Witt’s motions to hold Defendants in contempt
of court. 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
