PER CURIAM:

            Terry     Thomas    seeks    to     appeal    the     district   court’s

order adopting the report and recommendation of the magistrate

judge and dismissing some, but not all, named Defendants from

Thomas’s    42    U.S.C.   § 1983       (2000)    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 (1949).                  The order Thomas 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
