Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

2 PER CURIAM:

Ekoko K. Avoki and Francisco Avoki (Appellants) seek to appeal the district

court’s omnibus text order rejecting their challenges to the magistrate judge’s orders on

several pretrial matters. 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.,

, 545-

46 (1949). The text order that Appellants seek 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
