United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted Dec. 13, 1994.Decided Jan. 19, 1995.

Franklin E. Dennison, appellant pro se.
Donald John Zelenka, Chief Deputy Atty. Gen., Columbia, SC, for appellees.
Before WIDENER and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
Appellant appeals the magistrate judge's denial of Appellant's motion to show cause.  We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable.  This Court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292 (1988);  Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b);  Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.  Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).  The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

2
We deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal as interlocutory.  We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
