PER CURIAM:
Raymond Ronald Jennings seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order and
recommendation that the district court dismiss Jennings’ 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition without
prejudice. 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
