        PER CURIAM:

               Tigress Sydney Acute McDaniel seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing

        with prejudice most of the claims raised in McDaniel’s pro se civil action but allowing two

        claims to proceed against Defendant MIB Group, Inc. 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 McDaniel seeks to appeal is neither a final order, given that

        litigation on her remaining claims is ongoing, nor is it an appealable interlocutory or

        collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss this 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
