Submitted: March 30, 2005 Decided: April 14, 2005

Before WILKINSON and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Deborah D. Harden, Appellant Pro Se. James William Logan, Jr., LOGAN, JOLLY & SMITH, LLP, Anderson, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Deborah D. Harden seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying Defendants’ motion to dismiss one claim, granting

Harden leave to amend another claim, and recommitting the matter to

the magistrate judge. This court may exercise jurisdiction only

over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain

interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed.

R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S.

541 (1949). The order Harden 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 the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
