Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

      David Allen Ward seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion for

entry of default, quashing service, denying Appellees’ motion to dismiss, and providing

Ward 60 days to effect service of process. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over

final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2018), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28

U.S.C. § 1292 (2018); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337
U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Ward 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
