Kenney v. Baskerville
Kenney v. Baskerville
Opinion of the Court
Bruce E. Kenney and Milton Townsend seek to appeal the district court’s order dismissing several claims and defendants in their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action. The order did not dismiss all parties and claims. 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). See 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). The order Kenney and Townsend seek 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
