PER CURIAM:

      Michael Jermaine Greene seeks to appeal the district court’s order accepting the

magistrate judge’s recommendation, dismissing some of Greene’s claims, and referring the

matter back to the magistrate judge for further proceedings on Greene’s remaining claims.

This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain

interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.

Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 
337 U.S. 541
, 545-46 (1949). The order Greene 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
