PER CURIAM:

       Kareem Locke seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting Benjamin

Carver’s motion for summary judgment and terminating him as a party. 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). The order Locke

seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

Accordingly, we grant Carver’s motion to dismiss and 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
