PER CURIAM:

       Cobey LaKemper seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting in part and

denying in part Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. 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 LaKemper 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

       *
         LaKemper’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) motion for permission to immediately appeal is
still pending in the district court.
