Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court's order adopting the magistrate judge's report and recommendation and granting summary judgment to Defendant Hospitality Resources, Inc., in Appellant's suit alleging sexual harassment and hostile environment in vio- lation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.A.

§ 2000e-2 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997). The action remains pending as to Defendant Jim Conley, erroneously listed as Jim Cornell in the complaint. 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 (1994), and certain inter- locutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1994); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. 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
