PER CURIAM:

     Don Boyd appeals the district court’s orders accepting the

magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and dismissing his

appeal against the individual defendants for failure to effectuate

proper service.   We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction

because the orders are not appealable.    This court may exercise

jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and

certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292

(1994); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).

The orders here appealed are neither final orders nor appealable

interlocutory or collateral orders.     Absent certification under

Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b), we therefore lack jurisdiction.     Accord-

ingly, we dismiss the appeal as interlocutory.    We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-

quately presented in the materials before the court and argument

would not aid the decisional process.

                                                         DISMISSED
