    PER CURIAM:
    James T. Carter appeals the district court’s order dismissing
    several of the Defendants in his 
    42 U.S.C.A. § 1983
     (West Supp.
    2000) action.   We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction be-
    cause the order is not appealable.   This court may exercise juris-
    diction only over final orders, 
    28 U.S.C. § 1291
     (1994), and cer-
    tain interlocutory and collateral orders, 
    28 U.S.C. § 1292
     (1994);
    Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 
    337 U.S. 541
     (1949).   The order here appealed is neither a final order
    nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
    We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. 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
