        PER CURIAM:

               Bakha Yawuti El seeks to appeal the district court’s order affirming the magistrate

        judge’s order identifying numerous pleading deficiencies in Yawuti El’s pro se complaint,

        directing Yawuti El to correct the identified deficiencies and bring his case in proper form

        for service of process, and warning Yawuti El that his failure to comply with the order

        would result in the magistrate judge recommending that the district court dismiss Yawuti

        El’s action with prejudice and without leave for further amendment. 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 Yawuti El 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
