Before HALL and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing her 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (1988) complaint as to one but not all of the Defendants. 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.A. Sec. 1291 (West 1988 & Supp.1994), 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, 545-47 (1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See Patchick v. Kensington Publishing Corp., 743 F.2d 675, 677 (9th Cir.1984) (district court order dismissing some but not all defendants is not a "final decision").
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
