No. 21-6572

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

CHARLIE THOMPSON,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. Thomas D. Schroeder, Chief District Judge. (1:14-cr-00286-TDS-1; 1:21- cv-00266-TDS-JLW)

Submitted: October 14, 2021 Decided: October 18, 2021

Before DIAZ and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges, and KEENAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Charlie Thompson, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Charlie Thompson seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order and

recommendation construing Thompson’s

(c) motion as a successive and

unauthorized

motion and recommending that the motion be dismissed on

that basis. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

,

and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

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

Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

(1949). The magistrate

judge’s order and recommendation 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
