2 PER CURIAM:

Nathaniel Dante Rice seeks to appeal the district

court’s order granting his motions to amend his complaint, but

dismissing the amended complaints except as to one claim. 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

(1949). The

order Rice 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 this court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
