PER CURIAM: 

Osha A. Johnson seeks to appeal the district court’s order accepting the magistrate 

judge’s recommendation and denying Johnson’s motion for a temporary restraining order; 

granting Defendant McMaster’s motion to dismiss Johnson’s supplemental complaint; and 

granting in part and denying in part the remaining Defendants’ motion to dismiss the 

supplemental complaint, thus allowing certain claims to proceed. Litigation on Johnson’s 

remaining claims is still ongoing in the district court. 

This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and 

certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen 

v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Johnson seeks to 

appeal is neither a final order ending the litigation on the merits 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 this court and argument would not aid the 

decisional process. 

DISMISSED
