DISMISSED.
Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
William Thomas Bland appeals from a recommendation of the magistrate judge in a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action closely related to his civil action.* 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 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1988); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial 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
Apparently, Bland is seeking review of the magistrate judge's recommendation in Riddick v. Sutton, No. 91-207-CRT-5-D (E.D.N.C. Apr. 7, 1992)
