PER CURIAM:
Robb M. Harksen appeals the district court’s order dismissing
without prejudice some but not all of Harksen’s claims brought
pursuant to 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) for failure to
state a claim under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 2001). 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.
We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We deny Harksen’s
motion for a ruling on a motion in the district court. 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
