PER CURIAM:
Don Boyd appeals the district court’s orders accepting the
magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and dismissing his
appeal against the individual defendants for failure to effectuate
proper service. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction
because the orders are not appealable. This court may exercise
jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and
certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292
(1994); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).
The orders here appealed are neither final orders nor appealable
interlocutory or collateral orders. Absent certification under
Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b), we therefore lack jurisdiction. Accord-
ingly, we dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-
quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
