Submitted: September 13, 2018 Decided: September 18, 2018

Before NIEMEYER and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

James Rose, Appellant Pro Se. Temus C. Miles, Jr., Daniel Roy Settana, Jr., MCKAY LAW FIRM, PA, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

James Rose seeks to appeal from the district court’s order accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing without prejudice his complaint

against three defendants for failure to timely effect service of process. The action is

proceeding in the district court against six other defendants. This court may exercise

jurisdiction only over final orders,

(2012), and certain interlocutory and

collateral orders,

(2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.

Loan Corp.,

(1949). The order Rose 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 this court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
