PER CURIAM:

             In    these    consolidated        appeals,   William      Scott    Davis,

Jr., seeks to appeal two orders of the district court issued in

ongoing proceedings below.             The orders in question ruled on a

number of pending motions and deferred action on other motions.

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

orders   Davis      seeks    to    appeal       are   neither   final    orders     nor

appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.                    Accordingly, we

dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction.

             We deny Davis’ motions to file documents under seal

for failure to comply with 4th Circuit Rule 25(c).                      We also deny

Davis’ motions to appoint counsel, motion for extension of time,

motion for interlocutory order, motion for interlocutory appeal,

motion to exceed the length limitations in his informal brief,

motions for stay pending appeal, motion to expand a certificate

of appealability, and all other pending motions.

           We       also    note    that        Davis’   excessive      and     lengthy

electronic filings constitute an abuse of the court’s electronic

filing   system       and    impair    the        efficiency     of     the     court’s

operation.        We advise Davis that further abuse of his electronic

                                            3
filing status will result in limitations on his use and possible

sanctions.

            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

                                     4
