PER CURIAM:

Jerome Curry seeks to appeal the report and recommendation filed by the magistrate

judge in his

28 U.S.C. § 2254

proceedings. 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 Curry seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable

interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny all of Curry’s pending motions and

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
