PER CURIAM:
Christopher A. Gransby seeks to appeal the district
court’s order granting summary judgment in part to the Defendants
in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action. The district court referred
Gransby’s remaining claim to a magistrate judge for a hearing.
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
Gransby 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 the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
