PER CURIAM:
Nuru Yakubu, a federal inmate, seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s report and
recommendation in Yakubu’s 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas action. 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 report and recommendation
that Yakubu seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or
collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss this 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
