PER CURIAM:

             Jerome McFadden seeks to appeal the district court’s

text order denying his motion seeking reconsideration of several

nondispositive orders issued by the magistrate judge, including

orders denying his motions for appointment of counsel and for an

extension of time to complete discovery, and an order granting

in    part   and     denying   in     part        McFadden’s      motion    to     stay

Defendants’ summary judgment motion.                    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 order McFadden

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
