PER CURIAM:

               Theodore Justice seeks to appeal the district court’s

order    granting          in    part    and    denying       in    part     the       Defendant’s

motion    to    dismiss          this    action       filed    under       42    U.S.C.      § 1983

(2006)     alleging             violations       of     the        First        and     Fourteenth

Amendments.           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 Justice 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 the

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                                         DISMISSED

                                                 2
