PER CURIAM:
Bucky J. St. Mitchell appeals from the district court’s order
adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to deny his motion
for default judgment. This court may exercise jurisdiction only
over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain
interlocutory and collateral orders. 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed.
R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S.
541 (1949). The order St. Mitchell seeks to appeal is neither a
final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
Accordingly, we grant the Appellees’ motion to 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 the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
