DISMISSED.
Before WIDENER and HALL, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior
Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from orders of the district court and magistrate judge
dismissing his state contract claim from his action brought under 42 U.S.C. Sec.
1983 (1988), and ordering him to particularize other claims. We dismiss the
appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the orders are not appealable. This Court
may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291 (1988),
and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292 (1988);
Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541
(1949). The orders here appealed are neither final orders nor appealable
interlocutory or collateral orders.
DISMISSED.
