PER CURIAM:

     Cora Hill appeals the magistrate judge’s order dismissing two

of three Defendants in this action.     We dismiss the appeal for lack

of jurisdiction because the order is 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); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.

Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).       The order here appealed is nei-

ther a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral

order.

     We grant the motion to dismiss the appeal as interlocutory.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                             DISMISSED
