NOTICE: Fourth Circuit Local Rule 36(c) states that citation of unpublished
dispositions is disfavored except for establishing res judicata, estoppel, or the law
of the case and requires service of copies of cited unpublished dispositions of the
Fourth Circuit.
Ronald Floyd Jackson, appellant pro se. Terri Hearn Bailey, Office of the
United States Attorney, Columbia, SC; Mark Wilson Buyck, Jr., L.
Appellant appeals the district court's order accepting the recommendation of the
magistrate judge and granting summary judgment in favor of Defendant Cross.
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. Sec. 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28
U.S.C. Sec. 1292 (1988); 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.
