PER CURIAM:

       Crystal VL Rivers seeks to appeal the district court’s order adopting in part the

magistrate judge’s recommendations and dismissing some—but not all—of the claims

raised in Rivers’ civil action. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed.

R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The

order Rivers 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 further

dismiss as moot Appellee Sherwood Day’s motion to dismiss the appeal and deny Rivers’

motions for an extension of time to file a reply brief and leave to supplement the record.

       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
