PER CURIAM:
Sandra Constantine seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s report and
recommendation regarding three motions Constantine filed in pending habeas corpus
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 magistrate
judge’s report and recommendation is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory
or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny Constantine’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
