Debra Mayes, Appellant Pro Se. Mason Gardner Alexander, Jr.,
FISHER & PHILLIPS, LLP, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Debra Mayes seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying reconsideration of its order adopting the recommendation
of the magistrate judge and granting Defendant Renee Tippens’s
motion to dismiss the claims against Tippens. 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 (1949). The order Mayes
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 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
