PER CURIAM:

      James E. Turner, Sr., seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order awarding

attorney’s fees to Defendant in the amount of $3235. Because the order addressed a

matter that was referred to the magistrate judge without consent of the parties, we lack

jurisdiction over Turner’s appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), (c) (2012); Estate of Conners

by Meredith v. O’Connor, 6 F.3d 656, 658-60 (9th Cir. 1993) (collecting cases).

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
