PER CURIAM:
Charlie Thompson seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order and
recommendation construing Thompson’s 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) motion as a successive and
unauthorized 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion and recommending that the motion be dismissed on
that basis. 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 order and recommendation 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
