PER CURIAM:
The Appellant, Robert B. Clarkson, seeks to appeal the
district court’s orders denying his motion under Fed. R. Crim.
P. 41(g) seeking return of evidence seized during a search and
denying his motion for reconsideration. 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 Clarkson seeks to
appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or
collateral orders. See United States v. Reg’l Consulting Servs.
for Econ. and Cmty. Dev., Inc., 766 F.2d 870, 874-75 (4th Cir.
1985). 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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
