PER CURIAM:
Fred Freeman seeks to appeal the district court’s
order affirming the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
dismissing all but two defendants in Freeman’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983
(2006) action. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over
final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory
and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P.
54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541,
545-46 (1949). The order Freeman 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
deny Freeman’s motion to remand. 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
