PER CURIAM:

     Appellants appeal the district court's order adopting the mag-

istrate judge's recommendation to dismiss their claims for monetary

relief, as well as their supplemental state law claims and various

motions, but rejecting the magistrate judge's recommendation to

dismiss Appellants' claims for injunctive relief against the Appel-
lees in their official capacities. 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 neither

a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

     We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. 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
