Steven Lester, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

              Steven    Lester      seeks    to     appeal     the   district     court’s

order    adopting       the    magistrate           judge’s      recommendation        and

dismissing without prejudice one defendant in Lester’s 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 Lester 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

                                             2
