                                2
PER CURIAM:

     Carl E. McAdoo seeks to appeal the district court’s order

accepting     the        recommendation    of     the    magistrate      judge       and

dismissing    all        defendants    except    Joyce   Ann    Nash    in    McAdoo’s

civil action.            This court may exercise jurisdiction only over

final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory

and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P.

54(b); Cohen        v.    Beneficial    Indus.    Loan   Corp.,    337       U.S.    541,

545-46 (1949).           The order McAdoo 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

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
