PER CURIAM:

      Shahid L.A. Majid, a South Carolina inmate, seeks to appeal two text orders entered

by the magistrate judge in Majid’s ongoing 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action. * This

court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain

interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.

Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The orders Majid seeks to

appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.

Accordingly, we dismiss this 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

      *
         In these orders, which were entered on December 2, 2020, the magistrate judge
(a) denied as premature Majid’s motions for issuance of subpoenas for trial testimony; and
(b) denied for lack of authority Majid’s request for a court order allowing him to call
potential medical experts from the prison.
