PER CURIAM:

David Meyers seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation

and has filed a second notice of appeal without designating the order being appealed. 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 magistrate judge’s report

and recommendation is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral

order. Because the district court has not resolved any of Meyers’ claims and there is no

final order, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We deny Meyers’ motion for

leave to proceed under the Prison Litigation Reform Act without prepayment of fees as

moot. Meyers’ motions to direct the district court to accept his handwritten complaints, to

consolidate, and for an extension of time are also denied as moot. 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
