PER CURIAM:
Rodney Victor Harris seeks to appeal the district court’s
order granting a motion to dismiss as to several of the claims in
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint but denying the motion as to
other claims. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final
orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain interlocutory and
collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b);
Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The
order Harris seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny
Harris’s motion for a continuance, and 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
