PER CURIAM:

Demetrius L. Green seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s 

text orders denying his motions to amend his complaint and to 

compel discovery. 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, 545-46 (1949). The text orders Green seeks to 

appeal 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 this court and argument would not aid the 

decisional process.

DISMISSED
