Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Alexander Williams, Jr., District Judge. (8:09-cv-01927-AW) Submitted: March 16, 2010 Decided: March 19, 2010 Before NIEMEYER and DAVIS, Circuit Judges. * Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Rodriguez Samuel Da Matha De Santanna, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Rodriguez Samuel Da Matha De Santana seeks to appeal the district court order dismissing his claims against one of the four Defendants named in his suit. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order De Santanna 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
