Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       R. Francis DiPrete seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting summary

judgment to Michael Cosola, one of the three Defendants to DiPrete’s complaint; the action

remains pending as to the other two 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 DiPrete 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

                                             2
