Virginia Goforth v. Harley Lappin
Virginia Goforth v. Harley Lappin
Opinion
Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Virginia Arlene Goforth seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss or for summary judgment as to most claims and Defendants but referring her claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671 to 2680 (2006), to the magistrate judge for further proceedings. 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, 545-46, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Goforth *829 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.
