Christopher A. GRANSBY, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. D.A. BRAXTON, Warden; J. Armentrout; Larry Huffman, Regional Director, Defendants-Appellees, 120 F. App'x 519

PER CURIAM. Christopher A. Gransby seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting

summary judgment in part to the Defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action. The district court referred Gransby’s remaining claim to a magistrate judge for a hearing. 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Gransby 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
