PER CURIAM:

Christopher Love Williams seeks to appeal the district

court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s report and

recommendations and denying his motion for access to the prison law

library and his motion for a temporary restraining order or a

preliminary injunction in his civil action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2000). 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

portion of the order denying a temporary restraining order and

access to the law library is neither a final order nor an

appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we

dismiss that aspect of the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

On the other hand, the district court’s denial of a

request for a preliminary injunction is immediately appealable. 28

U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1) (2000). With respect to the district court’s

denial of Williams’ motions for a preliminary injunction, we have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm this portion of the appeal. 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.
