PER CURIAM:

William Scott, Davis, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s order instructing him 

to submit evidence of when he delivered his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60 motion to prison authorities 

for mailing.

*

 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 Davis seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or 

collateral order. Accordingly, we deny Davis’ motion to consolidate 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

 * We remanded Davis’ appeal in No. 19-6172 to obtain this information. We express 

no opinion on the merits of that appeal at this time. See Davis v. Britt, 773 F. App’x 172, 

173 (4th Cir. 2019) (No. 19-6172).
