See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Kenneth Green seeks to appeal the district court’s order
accepting a magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing
without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action as to some claims.
The court ordered that Green’s suit continue as to remaining
claims. This Court may exercise jurisdiction only over final
orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain interlocutory and
collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b);
Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).
Because it does not dispose of all of his § 1983 claims, the order
Green 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
