Ronald E. JARMUTH, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Kathleen R. WATERS; James M. Frinzi, Defendants- Appellees, 149 F. App'x 139

PER CURIAM. Ronald E. Jarmuth seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his civil action as to Defendant Kathleen Waters for lack of personal jurisdiction and dismissing for failure to state a claim some but not all of the claims against Defendant James Frinzi. 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. § 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). We lack jurisdiction because the order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See Robinson v. Parke-Davis & Co., 685 F.2d 912, 913 (4th Cir.1982). We likewise deny Jarmuth’s motion to treat the notice of appeal as a petition for writ of mandamus, as Jarmuth may appeal the district court’s adverse order upon final judgment. See In re Catawba Indian Tribe, 973 F.2d 1133, 1135-36 (4th Cir.1992); In re Beard, 811 F.2d 818, 826 (4th Cir.1987).

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
