Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

            Tony L. Moore seeks to appeal the district court’s

order   denying   Appellees’   motion     for   summary   judgment    without

prejudice and with leave to refile.             Appellees move to dismiss

on the ground that Moore has appealed an interlocutory order.

This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28

U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral

orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.

Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949).                 The

order Moore seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an

appealable interlocutory or collateral order.              Accordingly, we

grant Appellees’ motion to dismiss and 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
