PER CURIAM:

          Judy Curry seeks to appeal the district court’s orders

denying her motion for permissive joinder, under Fed. R. Civ. P.

20(a), and for modification of a discovery order filed in her

underlying 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action. This court may exercise

jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and

certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292

(2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan

Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).       The orders Curry seeks to appeal are

neither final orders nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral

orders.       Accordingly,   we   dismiss   the   appeal   for   lack   of

jurisdiction and deny Curry’s pending motion to remand.           We deny

Curry’s motion for 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

                                   - 3 -
