Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Brian David Hill seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order denying his

discovery-related motions and granting Defendants’ motion to quash discovery in his

pending Freedom of Information Act action. 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 order Hill seeks to appeal is neither 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
