PER CURIAM:

James C. McNeill seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his request for 

production of documents and his motions to compel discovery. This court may exercise 

jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2018), and certain interlocutory and 

collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2018); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. 

Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order McNeill seeks to appeal is neither a 

final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. 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
