PER CURIAM:

Appellants De’Shaun Williams and Cherise Raymond seek to appeal the magistrate 

judge’s recommendation to partially grant and partially deny their respective motions for 

summary judgment on civil claims that they conspired to defraud South Carolina Health 

Cooperative, Inc. (“SCHC”), a multiple employer welfare arrangement. Appellee Michael 

J. FitzGibbons, acting in his capacity as the Special Deputy Receiver of SCHC, moves to 

dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction.

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 report

Williams and Raymond seek to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable 

interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we grant FitzGibbons’ motion and dismiss 

the appeals 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
