PER CURIAM:
Chase Carmen Hunter seeks to appeal the district court’s order adopting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting in part and denying in part the
Respondents’ motion to dismiss Hunter’s civil action. This court may exercise
jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and
collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial
Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Hunter 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
