PER CURIAM:

Nathan Brown seeks to appeal the district court’s 

orders denying his motion to dismiss the complaint, denying 

Brown’s motion to add Defendants, granting the Plaintiff’s 

motion to dismiss Brown’s counterclaims, and denying 

reconsideration. 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 orders Brown seeks to appeal are neither 

final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. 

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

also deny Brown’s motions for clarification of the record on 

appeal and to correct the record. 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
