Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

James A. Williams seeks to appeal the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint against Defendants Samuel Lankford, Deborah Lankford, and Lankford Protective Services. 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). Because the district court has not adjudicated all of Williams’s claims against all the Defendants, the order Williams seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. 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.
