PER CURIAM:

            Benny   W.     McCroskey    seeks    to     appeal    the    district

court’s order denying his motion to compel.                      This court may

exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291

(2006),    and   certain    interlocutory      and    collateral     orders,    28

U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b); Cohen v. Beneficial

Indus.    Loan   Corp.,    337 U.S. 541,   545-46    (1949).        The   order

McCroskey seeks to appeal is not 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

                                        2
