PER CURIAM:
David Pearsall seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting Forest Capital,
LLC’s motion for partial summary judgment. This court may exercise jurisdiction only
over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,
28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,
337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). Because Forest Capital’s claim for tortious interference with
contract remains pending in the district court, the order Pearsall seeks to appeal is neither
a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss
the appeal for lack of jurisdiction and deny as moot Pearsall’s motion for summary
disposition. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
