Richardson v. Thomas

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Richardson v. Thomas, 50 F. App'x 157 (4th Cir. 2002)

Richardson v. Thomas

Opinion of the Court

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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). *158The 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.
