PER CURIAM:

          Fred    Freeman    seeks   to   appeal    the   district   court’s

order affirming the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

dismissing all but two defendants in Freeman’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983

(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 Freeman 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

deny Freeman’s motion to remand.          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

                                      3
