Timothy Tyrone Garvin, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Timothy Tyrone Garvin seeks to appeal the district
court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge and dismissing his claim of false imprisonment, and the
court’s subsequent order accepting the recommendation of the
magistrate judge and dismissing his complaint as to certain
defendants, denying his motion to alter or amend a previous
order, and denying his motion to amend his complaint. This
court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28
U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral
orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.
Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The orders
Garvin seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable
interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we 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
