                                            2
PER CURIAM:

       David Meyers seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order referring the complaint

for an evidentiary hearing and precluding Meyers from filing any further motions or

documents until the magistrate judge issues his report and recommendation. This court

may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2018), and certain

interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2018); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b);

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

seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

Accordingly, we deny as moot Meyers’ motion for leave to proceed on appeal under the

Prison Litigation Reform Act without prepayment of fees and 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
