Cornell F. Daye, Appellant Pro Se. Michael P. Addair, John P. Fuller, BAILEY & WYANT, PLLC, Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Cornell F. Daye seeks to appeal the district court’s

order adopting the report and recommendation of the magistrate

judge and dismissing certain counts in Daye’s

42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2006) complaint. 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 Daye 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
