Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: John G. Singletary, Jr., and Carla C. Singletary seek to appeal from various text orders entered by the magistrate judge in their 42U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) action. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The orders sought to be appealed are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. 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.
