PER CURIAM:

Leo Vincent Poole seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s recommendation that the 

district court dismiss Poole’s complaint. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over 

final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 

(1949). The order Poole 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 this court and argument would not aid the 

decisional process.

DISMISSED
