2 PER CURIAM:
Ronald McClary seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting Joseph
Lightsey’s motion for summary judgment. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over
final orders,
28 U.S.C. § 1291(2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,
28 U.S.C. § 1292(2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,
337 U.S. 541, 545-46(1949). Because claims against several defendants remain pending
below and the district court did not certify the order for immediate appeal, the order
McClary 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
