PER CURIAM:

     Curtis Dale Richardson seeks to appeal the district court’s

order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000), claim against all but

two Defendants.   This court may exercise jurisdiction only over

final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain interlocutory

and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed. R. Civ. P.

54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).

The order Richardson 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 the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
