Casey Rafael Tyler, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Casey Rafael Tyler seeks to appeal the district court’s order adopting the magistrate

judge’s recommendation and granting in part and denying in part his motion for summary

judgment. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1291

,

and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1292

; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b);

Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

337 U.S. 541, 545-46

(1949). The order Tyler

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
