PER CURIAM:
Ronald L. Legg seeks to appeal the district court’s
order adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation,
granting summary judgment in favor of Defendant Rhodes, denying
without prejudice Defendant Frebowitz’s motion for summary
judgment, and staying the case pending the outcome of Legg’s
criminal trial. 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 Legg 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
this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
