PER CURIAM:

           Franklin   C.    Reaves       seeks   to    appeal     the     district

court’s   order   accepting      the   recommendation     of    the     magistrate

judge and dismissing several Defendants from his civil suit.

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 Reaves 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
