Calvin L. GADDY, a/k/a Calvin Lyndale Gaddy, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Mr. Robert WARD; Mrs. Ann Hallman; Warden Larry Cartledge; Amy Machann, FSS #; Attorney General's Office; Donald Altman, Perry C.I., SCDC # 261468, Defendants-Appellees, 538 F. App'x 358

PER CURIAM: Calvin L. Gaddy seeks to appeal the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and dismissing Gaddy’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint as to one of the named defendants. 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Gaddy 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 deny Gaddy’s motion for leave to file newly-discovered evidence and motion for default 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.
