Narrative Opinion Summary
Bernard Gregory Lamp's appeal of the order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint is dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction. The court clarified that it can only hear appeals from final orders or certain interlocutory and collateral orders under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and § 1292, as well as Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b). Since the district court's order dismissed fewer than all claims of all parties involved, it does not qualify as a final or appealable order. The court determined that oral argument was unnecessary as the relevant facts and legal issues were adequately presented in the written materials.
