PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1

Ismail Sloan appeals from two orders pertaining to a civil rights action filed by inmates of the Lynchburg City Jail. In No. 92-7223, Sloan appeals from the district court's order granting partial summary judgment for Defendants concerning claims for monetary damages asserted by certain individual plaintiffs. We grant Defendants' motion to dismiss Appeal No. 92-7223 as interlocutory. This Court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C.Sec. 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292 (1988); 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

In No. 92-7258, Sloan appeals from the district court's order vacating its earlier order allowing him to intervene in the class action for injunctive relief. We find that the district court properly vacated its intervention order;* consequently, we dismiss Appeal No. 92-7258 as interlocutory. See Sam Fox Publishing Co. v. United States, 366 U.S. 683, 695 (1961); Francis v. Chamber of Commerce of United States, 481 F.2d 192, 196 (4th Cir. 1973). 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
