PER CURIAM:
Robert Louis Garrett, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s order (a) declining to
consider Garrett’s late-filed objections to the magistrate judge’s report; and (b) denying
Garrett’s postjudgment motions, which related to the court’s prior order granting summary
judgment to some—but not all—of the named Defendants. 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 order that Garrett seeks to appeal is not a final
order, given that litigation on his remaining claims against the remaining Defendants is
ongoing, nor is it 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
