DISMISSED.
Before WIDENER, HALL, and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Steve Wool appeals from a district court order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and remanding this case to the Secretary for further consideration of Wool's eligibility for disability benefits.  We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable.   See Mall Properties, Inc. v. Marsh, 841 F.2d 440, 441 (1st Cir.), cert. denied, 488 U.S. 848 (1988);   Dalto v. Richardson, 434 F.2d 1018, 1019 (2d Cir. 1970), cert. denied, 401 U.S. 979 (1971).  This Court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1988);  Fed.  R. Civ. P. 54(b);   Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.  Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).  The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

2
We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory.  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

 Our disposition of this appeal renders moot Wool's emergency motion for reinstatement of benefits and application for stay pending appeal
