USCA4 Appeal: 23-7103      Doc: 6         Filed: 03/15/2024    Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

               William Scott Davis, II, seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s report recommending

        that the district court dismiss Davis’ 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. 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 Davis 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

                                                    2
