2 PER CURIAM:

Rodriguez Samuel Da Matha De Santana seeks to appeal

the district court order dismissing his claims against one of

the four Defendants named in his suit. This court may exercise

jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006),

and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C.

§ 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.

Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order De Santanna 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
