PER CURIAM:

Ronald McClary seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order 

granting the Defendants an enlargement of time to answer his 

complaint or file a responsive pleading. This court may exercise 

jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and 

certain interlocutory and collateral orders. 28 U.S.C. § 1292 

(2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b), Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan 

Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-47 (1949). Because the magistrate judge’s 

order is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or 

collateral order, 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
