PER CURIAM:
William Bonner, a federal prisoner, appeals the
district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the
magistrate judge and remanding his request for relief on his 28
U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) petition to the United States Bureau of
Prisons. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final
orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain interlocutory and
collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed. R. Civ. P.
54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541
(1949). Following the district court’s order, Bonner filed a
motion pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(3), in which he
asserted that, upon remand, the Bureau of Prisons had
erroneously rejected his renewed application for nunc pro tunc
designation. However, the district court has yet to issue a
final order in regard to this renewed claim. Accordingly,
because a final order has not been entered, 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 the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
