PER CURIAM:
James C. McNeill seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his request for
production of documents and his motions to compel discovery. This court may exercise
jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2018), and certain interlocutory and
collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2018); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.
Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order McNeill 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
