PER CURIAM:

     Alton      Benn   seeks    to   appeal   the   district    court’s    order

affirming the magistrate judge’s denial of Benn’s motion to expand

the record in his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) proceedings.                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 Benn 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

                                        2
