Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. Samuel G. Wilson, Chief District Judge. (CA-00-739-7)

Submitted: January 17, 2002 Decided: January 29, 2002

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Dossie Faison, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. William W. Muse, Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia; Coreen Antoinette Bromfield, RAWLS & MCNELIS, P.C., Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Dossie Faison, Jr., appeals the district court’s order grant-

ing the motion to dismiss of one of the Defendants to Faison’s

civil action under

(West Supp. 2001). We dis-

miss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not

appealable. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final

orders,

(1994), and certain interlocutory and

collateral orders,

(1994); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b);

Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

(1949). The

order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable

interlocutory or collateral order.

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
