PER CURIAM: Edward Thomas Illsley seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing one of the two claims Illsley raised in his complaint. Appellee moves to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Illsley seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

Accordingly, we grant Appellee’s motion and 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
