UNPUBLISHED
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Rock Hill. A. Marvin Quattlebaum, Jr., District Judge. (0:17-cv-02000-AMQ-PJG) Before NIEMEYER and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. James Rose, Appellant Pro Se. Temus C. Miles, Jr., Daniel Roy Settana, Jr., MCKAY LAW FIRM, PA, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
James Rose seeks to appeal from the district court's order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing without prejudice his complaint against three defendants for failure to timely effect service of process. The action is proceeding in the district court against six other defendants. 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 order Rose 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
