PER CURIAM:

          Christopher Bernard Jones seeks to appeal the district

court’s orders denying his motion to reconsider the court’s order

requiring him to comply with the service requirements of Fed. R.

Civ. P. 5; denying his motion to amend the complaint; and granting

a defendant’s motion for an extension of time to answer Plaintiff’s

interrogatories and produce documents.            This court may exercise

jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and

certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292

(2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan

Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).       The orders Jones seeks to appeal are

neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral

orders.       Accordingly,   we   dismiss   the    appeals   for   lack   of

jurisdiction.     We deny Jones’ motions to stay the district court

proceedings, for an injunction and restraining order, to waive the

requirement to file a certificate of service, and for emergency

relief for order of protection; and also deny Jones’ petition for

emergency relief. 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

                                   - 4 -
