PER CURIAM:
Ophelia Azriel De’Lonta seeks to appeal the district
court’s order dismissing all but one Defendant, Sarah Pruitt, in
De’Lonta’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) action. 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
De’Lonta seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order, as it disposes of
fewer than all the parties involved in this lawsuit.
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
