PER CURIAM:

Derrick Allen seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s memorandum recommending
that the district court dismiss Allen’s complaint. This court may exercise jurisdiction only
over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2018), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,
28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2018); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,
337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Allen seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor
an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny Allen’s motion to
appoint counsel and 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
