PER CURIAM:

David Meyers seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order referring the complaint 

for an evidentiary hearing and precluding Meyers from filing any further motions or 

documents until the magistrate judge issues his report and recommendation. This court 

may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2018), and certain 

interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2018); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); 

Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Meyers 

seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. 

Accordingly, we deny as moot Meyers’ motion for leave to proceed on appeal under the 

Prison Litigation Reform Act without prepayment of fees and 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
