PER CURIAM:

       Robert Louis Garrett, Jr., appeals the district court’s orders accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying his motion for a preliminary

injunction and denying his motion to alter or amend; the district court’s order affirming the

magistrate judge’s order and allowing Garrett until June 25, 2019, to file any motion to

amend or supplement his complaint; the magistrate judge’s order dismissing as moot

Garrett’s motion to compel and for sanctions, motion to stay, two motions to supplement

the motion to compel and for sanctions, and Defendants’ motion for extension of time; and

the magistrate judge’s order denying Garrett’s motions to appoint counsel. 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 denial of Garrett’s

motion for a preliminary injunction is an appealable interlocutory order.         28 U.S.C.

§ 1292(a)(1). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the denial of the

preliminary injunction or motion to reconsider. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court. Garrett v. Aull, No. 0:18-cv-01418-CMC-PJG (D.S.C. Apr. 12,

2019 & May 30, 2019). The remaining three orders are neither final orders nor appealable

interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we dismiss this portion of the appeals for

lack of jurisdiction.

                                                                     AFFIRMED IN PART,
                                                                     DISMISSED IN PART
