PER CURIAM:

Unula Boo Shawn Abebe seeks to appeal the magistrate 

judge’s order incorporating his original complaint with his 

motion for leave to amend the complaint, treating both documents 

as the amended complaint. 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 (1949). The magistrate judge’s order is neither a 

final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order; 

Abebe should have directed to the district court any objections 

to the order. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (2006). Accordingly, we 

dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.*

DISMISSED

 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.

 * Abebe asks us to disqualify the magistrate judge. We note 

that the magistrate judge whom Abebe seeks to disqualify is no 

longer assigned to the case.
