Carlos Calderon, Appellant Pro Se.

Before HALL, ERVIN, and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing his Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment claims against all Defendants, but maintaining his claim of deliberate indifference to medical needs under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994). 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 (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 (1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

2

We 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.
