PER CURIAM:
Jeffrey Edwards seeks to appeal the district court’s
order granting in part and denying in part Defendants’ motions
to dismiss. 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). A final order is one that disposes of all issues in
dispute as to all parties. It “ends the litigation on the
merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but execute the
judgment.” Catlin v. United States, 324 U.S. 229, 233 (1945).
The order Edwards 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
