U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2002-03-21

Applies 28 U.S.C. § 1291 · 28 U.S.C. § 1292

Relies on Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp.

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion · Decided 2002-03-21

PER CURIAM.

¶1 Kenneth D. Rogers appeals the order of the district court adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss Rogers’ claims. We dismiss Rogers’ 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 (1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1994); 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 here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order because it disposed of only some of the claims and parties in this civil action. Tuck’s claims of excessive force against two police officers remain.

¶2 We therefore 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.

¶3 DISMISSED.
