OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Cornelius Tucker, Jr., seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's recommendations that his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaints be dismissed. We dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction because the orders are not appealable. See 28 U.S.C.s 636(b)(1) (1988). This Court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1988); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The orders here appealed are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.
We dismiss the appeals as interlocutory. We deny Tucker's motions to vacate this Court's order consolidating these appeals. 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
