Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Joseph Fleming seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting in part and

denying in part Defendants’ summary judgment motions filed in his pending 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (2012) 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 Fleming seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an

appealable interlocutory or collateral order. 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
