    James Franklin Pipes, Appellant Pro Se.           Dawn Ellen Warfield,
    Deputy   Attorney  General,  Charleston,         West   Virginia,  for
    Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    PER CURIAM:
    James    Franklin      Pipes         appeals        the    district         court’s
    order   adopting       in    part,   vacating          in    part,       and    remanding        for
    further consideration the magistrate judge’s recommendation to
    dismiss    Pipes’      petition      for   a        writ    of     habeas      corpus      brought
    under     
    28 U.S.C. § 2254
        (2000).               This     court      may     exercise
    jurisdiction only over final orders, 
    28 U.S.C. § 1291
     (2000),
    and   certain      interlocutory          and       collateral        orders,         
    28 U.S.C. § 1292
     (2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.
    Loan Corp., 
    337 U.S. 541
     (1949).                            The order Pipes 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
