Alonzo Key, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

           Alonzo Key seeks to appeal the district court’s order

adopting      the     recommendation        of    the    magistrate      judge    and

dismissing Defendants State of South Carolina and Aiken Police

Department without prejudice from Key’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006)

proceeding.          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 Key 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 Key’s motion for a transcript at Government expense.                           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

                                            2
