¶1 Ricky Joseph Alex (Alex), Louisiana prisoner # 98130, seeks to appeal from an order denying as premature his motion for service of process of his civil rights complaint filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He argues that he is entitled to service of his complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(2).
¶2 The district court’s order is not a final order appealable under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. See Askanase v. Livingwell, Inc., 981 F.2d 807, 810 (5th Cir.1993). Nor is the order in the class of interlocutory orders subject *750 to appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(l)-(3). The district court did not certify the order as final pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) or as appealable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b). The order also is not appeal-able pursuant to the collateral order doctrine. See Brinar v. Williamson, 245 F.3d 515, 517-18 (5th Cir.2001). Therefore, we lack jurisdiction to hear Alex’s appeal from the district court’s order. See id. at 518.
¶3 APPEAL DISMISSED.
