PER CURIAM:

              Rashid     Qawi    Al-Amin          seeks    to    appeal     the    district

court’s order dismissing one of the defendants as a party.                                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 Al-Amin 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

                                              3
