        PER CURIAM:

               Leonard Lee Haley seeks to appeal the district court’s order partially dismissing

        Haley’s complaint for failure to state a claim. This court may exercise jurisdiction only

        over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

        28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S.

        541, 545-46 (1949). “Ordinarily, a district court order is not final until it has resolved all

        claims as to all parties.” Porter v. Zook, 803 F.3d 694, 696 (4th Cir. 2015) (internal

        quotation marks omitted).

               Our review of the record reveals that the district court did not adjudicate all the

        claims raised in the complaint. Id. at 696-97. Specifically, although the district court

        granted six of the named defendants’ motions to dismiss, it did not rule on Haley’s claims

        against Corizon Health, Inc., Dr. Howard Cook, and Dr. Ashok Krishnaswamy, and it did

        not enter a final judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b). Accordingly, the order Haley

        seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

        We therefore 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 this court and argument would not aid the

        decisional process.

                                                                                        DISMISSED

                                                      2
