PER CURIAM:

       Aaron M. Burns seeks to appeal from the district court’s order denying

reconsideration of the dismissal without prejudice of his claims against Defendants at

Chesapeake Correctional Center, Nottoway Correctional Center, and Western Tidewater

Regional Jail based on improper joinder of claims, and dismissing two of the four claims

he asserted against Defendants at Hampton Roads Regional Jail in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2012) complaint. 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 Burns 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
