PER CURIAM:

       Michael Green seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his claims

against one of the Defendants in his pending 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. This court may

exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and

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

Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Green seeks to appeal is neither a final

order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny Green’s

pending motions, 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

                                             3
