PER CURIAM:
Jerome Curry seeks to appeal the report and recommendation filed by the magistrate
judge in his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 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 order Curry seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable
interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny all of Curry’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
