PER CURIAM:

       Demetrius L. Green seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s

text orders denying his motions to amend his complaint and to

compel discovery.           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 text orders Green seeks to

appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or

collateral orders.          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
