Before NIEMEYER, MOTZ, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Michael W. Brown, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Michael W. Brown seeks to appeal a memorandum opinion
and order of the magistrate judge recommending the dismissal of
his civil action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii)
(2012). This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final
orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and
collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P.
54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-
46 (1949). The order Brown seeks to appeal is neither a final
order nor an interlocutory or collateral order subject to appeal
in this court. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (2012); Fed. R. Civ.
P. 72(a). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of
jurisdiction. As we lack jurisdiction over the appeal, we deny
Brown’s motion for relief from judgment. 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
