                                         No. 22-30254

                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Western District of Louisiana
                                USDC No. 3:21-cv-03686

   Before Jones, Haynes, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          This court must examine the basis of its jurisdiction, on its own
   motion if necessary. Hill v. City of Seven Points, 230 F.3d 167, 169 (5th Cir.
   2000). In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 case, the district court granted a partial
   dismissal of the Plaintiff’s claims without stating it was a final judgment or
   asserting a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b) designation. “Federal
   appellate courts have jurisdiction over appeals only from (1) a final decision
   under 28 U.S.C. § 1291; (2) a decision that is deemed final due to
   jurisprudential exception or that has been properly certified as final pursuant
   to Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); and (3) interlocutory orders that fall into specific
   classes, 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a), or that have been properly certified for appeal
   by the district court, 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b).” Askanase v. Livingwell, Inc., 981
   F.2d 807, 809-10 (5th Cir. 1993). This partial dismissal is not a final or
   otherwise appealable order. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for want
   of jurisdiction.
