PER CURIAM:
Donald Van Meter seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s
order granting the Defendant’s motion to set aside default
judgment. 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 Van Meter seeks to appeal is neither a
final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
Nor could it have been certified for immediate appealability
under Rule 54(b). In re Bryson, 406 F.3d 284, 287-88 (4th Cir.
2005); Equip. Fin. Grp., Inc. v. Traverse Computer Brokers, 973
F.2d 345, 347-48 (4th Cir. 1992). 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
