PER CURIAM:
Ronald McClary seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order
granting the Defendants an enlargement of time to answer his
complaint or file a responsive pleading.

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, 545-47 (1949). Because the magistrate judge’s
order is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or
collateral order, 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
