JAMES MARCUS LLOYD, III, Petitioner - Appellant, v. J. HUTCHINSON, Warden, Respondent - Appellee.
James Marcus Lloyd, III, Appellant Pro Se.
UNPUBLISHED
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Rock Hill. Paige Jones Gossett, Magistrate Judge. (0:20-cv-00963-MGL) Before NIEMEYER, KEENAN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. James Marcus Lloyd, III, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
James Marcus Lloyd, III, seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's report and recommendation recommending that Lloyd's 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition be dismissed. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The report and recommendation Lloyd seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny Lloyd's motions to appoint counsel and for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and 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
