PER CURIAM:

      Brian Farabee seeks to appeal the district court’s orders granting the motions to

dismiss of two defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action and denying his motion

for reconsideration of the order. 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 orders Farabee seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor

appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we deny Farabee’s pending

motion 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
