PER CURIAM:
Roger L. Ervin seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying in part his motion for discovery. 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 Ervin 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
