PER CURIAM:

            Anthony       Jesus    Johnson      seeks    to    appeal     the    district

court’s    order    adopting       the     recommendation       of    the    magistrate

judge and denying the respondents’ motion for summary judgment

in Johnson’s 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2006) action.                          This court may

exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291

(2006),    and    certain     interlocutory        and       collateral      orders,    28

U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial

Indus.    Loan    Corp.,     337   U.S.     541,   545-46      (1949).        The   order

Johnson    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

                                            3
