   MEMORANDUM

Federal prisoner George Michael Ruelas appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his motion for production of photographic trial exhibits. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.

Ruelas contends that the district court erred by denying his motion for photographic evidence. The district court properly treated this motion as a discovery request because Ruelas requested the discovery in the ongoing review of his conviction. Because discovery orders are not final appealable orders, see United States v. Zone, 403 F.3d 1101, 1106 (9th Cir.2005) (per curiam), we dismiss.

DISMISSED.
