PER CURIAM:

      Eddie Murphy seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting summary

judgment to Officer Leroy Conrad, CO II; Officer Dean W. Rounds, Sr., CO II; Officer

Shawn Murray, CO II; and Officer Kevan Whetstone, CO II; the action remains pending

as to two other 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). The order Murphy seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an

appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See Porter v. Zook, 803 F.3d 694, 696 (4th

Cir. 2015). 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                             DISMISSED
