    PER CURIAM:
    James C. McNeill seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his 
    42 U.S.C. § 1983
     (2012) action without prejudice as to two, but not all, defendants on the ground that
    McNeill did not show good cause for failure to obtain service as to those two defendants.
    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 McNeill
    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
