PER CURIAM:

John F. Curran, III seeks to appeal the district court’s 

order denying a motion for continuance. 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 order that Curran

seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable 

interlocutory or collateral order. See Stevenson v. City of 

Seat Pleasant, 743 F.3d 411, 415-16 (4th Cir. 2014). 

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We 

deny the parties’ pending motions as moot. 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
