PER CURIAM:
Garrett Edward Hunter, III, appeals the district court’s order
affirming the magistrate judge’s order denying his motion for an
extension of time to file objections to the magistrate judge’s
recommendation in his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition. 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. § 1291 (1994), and certain interlocutory and
collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1994); 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.
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
