PER CURIAM:

       Robert Cooper seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying   in   part   and    granting     in    part   Defendants’      motion    for

summary judgment and dismissing some of Cooper’s claims.                         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 Cooper 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
