USCA4 Appeal: 23-6524 Doc: 10 Filed: 11/22/2023 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: David Meyers seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation entered in Meyers’ 28 U.S.C. § 2254 proceeding. 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 § 2254 petition remains pending in the district court. Therefore, the order Meyers 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
