Cornelius Leon Lightfoot, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Cornelius Leon Lightfoot seeks to appeal the district

court’s order dismissing his

42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2006) complaint

without prejudice. 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 Lightfoot 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
