Leonard Thomas Witt, Appellant Pro Se.


UNPUBLISHED

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. Glen E. Conrad, District Judge. (7:17-cv-00438-GEC-RSB) Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and AGEE and DIAZ, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Leonard Thomas Witt, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Leonard Thomas Witt seeks to appeal two orders entered in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) civil rights action, the first of which fully granted summary judgment to one group of Defendants. The second order partially dismissed Witt's claims against other Defendants, but did not dismiss all claims as to all Defendants. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). Because litigation remains ongoing against at least one named Defendant, the orders Witt seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We deny Witt's motions to hold Defendants in contempt of court. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
