OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Advertisement
Appellant filed two 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 complaints alleging that he had been denied access to the courts (No. 93-7008) and that his religious rights had been compromised and he was not properly fed (No. 93-7033).1 The district court denied relief and Appellant appeals. Our review of the records and the district courts' opinions discloses that these appeals are without merit. With regards to No. 93-7008, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Ali v. Hunt, No. CA-93-516-CRT-BO (E.D.N.C. Sept. 7, 1993). With regards to No. 93-7033, 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. 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 order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as interlocutory.2
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.
AFFIRMED IN PART; DISMISSED IN PART.
