PER CURIAM:

       Christopher       West    seeks     to    appeal   the   district    court’s

order, accepting in part and rejecting in part the magistrate

judge’s recommendation, and granting in part and denying in part

the Defendants’ motion for summary judgment in West’s 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (2012) action.           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 West 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
