PER CURIAM:
Eric Michael Robbinette seeks to appeal the district court's order denying his motions for a preliminary injunction, class certification, and appointment of counsel filed in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The portion of the order that denied Robbinette's requests to certify a class and for appointment of counsel is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss this part of the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. However, we have jurisdiction over that portion of the order that denied Robbinette's motion for preliminary injunctive relief. See 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). We have reviewed the record as to this portion of the order and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm this portion of the order for the reasons stated by the district court. Robbinette v. Lockhart, No. 7:17-cv-00053-JPJ-RSB, 2017 WL 1239681 (W.D. Va. Apr. 3, 2017). 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.
AFFIRMED IN PART; DISMISSED IN PART.
