United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted:  October 12, 1995.Decided:  October 26, 1995.

Jeffrey L. McCormick, Appellant Pro Se.  Jill Theresa Bowers, Office of the Attorney General of Virginia, Richmond, VA, for Appellees.
Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Appellant appeals the district court's order denying Appellant's motion for a jury trial and to amend his complaint.  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 Industrial 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 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
