PER CURIAM:
Virginia Arlene Goforth seeks to appeal the district
court’s order granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss or for
summary judgment as to most claims and Defendants but referring
her claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671
to 2680 (2006), to the magistrate judge for further proceedings.
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 Goforth 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 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
