Before HALL, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Darrol Harrison, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals from the magistrate judge's report and rec-

ommendation in his Bivens* action. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable. This court may

exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1291

(1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1292

(1988); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus- trial Loan Corp.,

337 U.S. 541

(1949). The order here appealed is

neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral

order.

We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. 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
