PER CURIAM:
George Reynold Evans seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s
report and recommendation in this action filed under 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 (2012). This court may exercise jurisdiction only over
final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory
and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P.
54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541,
545-46 (1949). The order Evans seeks to appeal is neither a
final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. *
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
this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
* According to the district court’s docket sheet, Evans has
filed objections to the magistrate judge’s report and
recommendation. However, the district court has not yet ruled
on the ojections or issued a final order.
