PER CURIAM:
Armando Despaigne Zulveta seeks to appeal the district
court’s orders adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendations
to grant Defendants’ motion to file a late answer, deny
Zulveta’s motion for default judgment, and grant motions to
dismiss Zulveta’s claims against several Defendants. 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
orders Zulveta 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 this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
