PER CURIAM:
Larry Keith Green seeks to appeal the dismissal of one
defendant in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) suit. 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 Green
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
