PER CURIAM:

            Charles Everette Hinton seeks to appeal the district

court’s    order      adopting     the        magistrate       judge’s      report   and

recommendation and dismissing Peter S. Gilchrist, III, from his

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 Hinton 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 the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                                               DISMISSED

                                              3
