PER CURIAM:

Lameek Shalam Johns seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his claim
as to one of the named defendants in his action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983
(2018). This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291
(2018), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2018); Fed. R.
Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The
order Johns 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
