John D. Strassini, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
John D. Strassini appeals the district court’s orders dismiss-
ing three of the claims in his § 1983 action and denying his motion
to add four defendants and change the caption of the case. The
Government has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal as interlocu-
tory. We grant the Government’s motion and dismiss the appeal for
lack of jurisdiction because the orders are 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 orders here
appealed are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or
collateral orders.
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.
DISMISSED
