CHRISTOPHER D. CROMARTIE, JR., Petitioner - Appellant, v. NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY-PRISONS; ASHLEY JONES; QUEEN GERALD, Respondents - Appellees.

Christopher D. Cromartie, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.


UNPUBLISHED

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. Joi Elizabeth Peake, Magistrate Judge. (1:18-cv-00479-LCB-JEP) Before WILKINSON and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Christopher D. Cromartie, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Christopher D. Cromartie, Jr., seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's recommendation to dismiss Cromartie's 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012) petition. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The magistrate judge's recommendation 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
