2 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
