Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Webster Douglas Williams, III, seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying

his motions for default judgment and to strike the Government’s response to Williams’

28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. 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 Williams seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor

appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we deny Williams’ motions to

strike the Government’s response and to correct error and 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

                                           2
