                                2
PER CURIAM:

           David A. Bardes seeks to appeal the district court’s

order adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation

and   dismissing       all    but    one    of    Bardes’s    claims   and    attendant

defendants.       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,

545-47 (1949).         The order Bardes 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

                                             3
