James Eugene Venable, Appellant Pro Se.  Alexander Leonard Taylor, Jr., OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, VA;  Jeff Wayne Rosen, ADLER, ROSEN & PETERS, P.C., Virginia Beach, VA, for Appellees.
Before HALL, MURNAGHAN, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
Appellant appeals the district court's order granting summary judgment as to some defendants and dismissing some claims in his 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (1988) action.  We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable.  This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292 (1988);  Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b);  Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.  Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).  Because some defendants and some claims remain, the order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.


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

 We also note that were this appeal not interlocutory, it would be untimely.  Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)
