PER CURIAM:

1

Appellants appeal the district court's order adopting the magistrate judge's recommendation to dismiss their claims for monetary relief, as well as their supplemental state law claims and various motions, but rejecting the magistrate judge's recommendation to dismiss Appellants' claims for injunctive relief against the Appellees in their official capacities. 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 (1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1994); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

2

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
