                  Defendants - Appellees.

Judge. (3:09-cv-00039-JRS)

Submitted:    October 15, 2009              Decided:   October 21, 2009

Hugh Epps, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

            Hugh Epps seeks to appeal a magistrate judge’s order

denying   without    prejudice        his   “Motion    of   Filing    a    Complaint

under   Civil   Rights    Act    42    U.S.C.     § 1983.”      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 order Epps 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

                                            2
