Tony BROWN; Robert Carriles, Defendants-Appellees.
No. 96-6526.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted Oct. 3, 1996.
Decided Oct. 10, 1996.
Calvin R. Mattison, Appellant Pro Se. Barbara Murcier Bowens, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.
D.S.C.
DISMISSED.
Before ERVIN, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
1
Appellant appeals the district court's order granting Defendants' motion for summary judgment in part and denying it in part. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1994); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
2
We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. 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.
3
DISMISSED.
