USCA4 Appeal: 22-1343      Doc: 7         Filed: 02/16/2023    Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

               Melinda Scott seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s postjudgment order denying

        Scott’s motion for order to show cause. Because the parties did not consent to the

        magistrate judge’s jurisdiction, the order on appeal is not an appealable final order. See

        Jaquez v. United States, 36 F.4th 725, 727 (7th Cir. 2022); Rajaratnam v. Moyer, 47 F.3d

        922, 924 & n.6 (7th Cir. 1995); Colo. Bldg. & Constr. Trades Council v. B.B. Andersen

        Constr. Co., 879 F.2d 809, 811 (10th Cir. 1989). 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
