2 PER CURIAM:

Brigitte Kiza, Nyirangorore Mukasini, Solange Mukemana—as guardian ad litem

for U.G., and Marie Mukarurangwa seek to appeal the district court’s order accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge, denying their motion to amend, dismissing their

claims against Universal Insurance Company, and ordering them to show cause why their

claims against All Point Insurance Agency should not be dismissed. * 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 Kiza, Mukasini, Mukemana, and

Mukarurangwa 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

* The Plaintiffs entered a stipulation of dismissal of their claims against the other two named Defendants, Auto Club Company of Florida and Paul Robert Hopkins.
