PER CURIAM:

Milford Washington seeks to appeal the district court’s 

order ruling on several discovery and miscellaneous motions, and 

has filed a motion to remand. 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 Washington 

seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable 

interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny the 

motion to remand and 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
