PER CURIAM:
James Bailey seeks to appeal the district court’s
order accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and
dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint against all but
one defendant, Nurse Brown, and ordering Bailey to show cause
for his failure to effect service upon Nurse Brown. 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 order
Bailey seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we
deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis 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 the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
