PER CURIAM:

Rodney Hill seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s 

entry of an order pursuant to Roseboro v. Garrison, 528 F.2d 309 

(4th Cir. 1975), notifying Hill of the need to respond to a 

summary judgment motion. 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 (1949). The order Hill 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
