PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, Jose L. France-Bey seeks to appeal the district
court’s September 6, 2017, order dismissing his civil action as to one Defendant without
prejudice for failure to obtain service, and the court’s January 11, 2018, judgment
adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying France-Bey’s motion
to alter or amend judgment. 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). The order and judgment France-Bey seeks to appeal are not final
orders or appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we dismiss the
appeals for lack of jurisdiction. We deny France-Bey’s motion to appoint counsel and
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
