Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Statesville. Carl Horn, III, Magistrate Judge. (CA-94-63-5-V)

William Michael Hubbard, appellant pro se.

W.D.N.C.

DISMISSED.

Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM

¶1

Appellant appeals from the magistrate judge's recommendation that his complaint be dismissed. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable. This Court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292 (1988); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

¶2

We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. 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
