    This document is a court order dismissing an appeal by Edward W. Jefferson of a district court order that dismissed all but one of his claims and denied all but one of his motions to amend his underlying complaint. The appeals court found that it did not have jurisdiction over the appeal because the district court's order was not a final order and did not fall under other categories of appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Therefore, the appeals court dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

    PER CURIAM:
    Edward

    W.

    Jefferson

    seeks

    to

    appeal

    the

    district

    courts order dismissing all but one of his claims and denying
    all but one of his motions to amend the underlying complaint.
    This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28
    U.S.C. 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral
    orders, 28 U.S.C. 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.
    Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949).

    The

    order Jefferson seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an


    appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
    dismiss

    the

    appeal

    for

    lack

    of

    Accordingly, we

    jurisdiction.

    We

    dismiss

    Jeffersons motions for relief pending appeal and 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
