USCA4 Appeal: 22-1343 Doc: 7 Filed: 02/16/2023 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Melinda Scott seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s postjudgment order denying Scott’s motion for order to show cause. Because the parties did not consent to the magistrate judge’s jurisdiction, the order on appeal is not an appealable final order. See Jaquez v. United States, 36 F.4th 725, 727 (7th Cir. 2022); Rajaratnam v. Moyer, 47 F.3d 922, 924 & n.6 (7th Cir. 1995); Colo. Bldg. & Constr. Trades Council v. B.B. Andersen Constr. Co., 879 F.2d 809, 811 (10th Cir. 1989). 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
