William Rowe Phelan, Jr., OFFICE OF THE CITY SOLICITOR, Baltimore, MD;  Charles Joseph Peters, Sr., OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, MD;  Duane A. Verderaime, BALTIMORE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.
Before RUSSELL, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
Appellant appeals two district court orders dismissing only certain parties from his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) action.  We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the orders are nondispositive and therefore not appealable.  This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and certain 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 orders here appealed are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.


2
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
