PER CURIAM:

Benny Lynn Isom seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order recommending that 

his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion be denied. 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, 545-46 (1949). The order Isom 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
