PER CURIAM:
Wanda S. Hudson seeks to appeal the district court’s order adopting the report and
recommendation of the magistrate judge, dismissing her claims brought on behalf of a
third party, and allowing the claims on Hudson’s behalf to proceed. 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 Hudson seeks
to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction and deny Hudson’s motion to
appoint counsel. 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
