                                2
PER CURIAM:

              William E. Smith seeks to appeal the district court’s

order granting partial summary judgment to Appellees on his 42

U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) suit.          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 Smith 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

                                         3
