2 PER CURIAM:

Eugene Gray appeals the district court’s July 6, 1999 orders

denying his motion for summary judgment without prejudice, denying

his motions for default judgment, and granting defendant Joel

Silverman and the Medical College of Virginia additional time to

file responsive pleadings and to respond and to object to Gray’s

discovery requests. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction

because the orders are not appealable. This court may exercise

jurisdiction only over final orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1291

(1994), and

certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1292

(1994); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan

Corp.,

337 U.S. 541

(1949). The orders here appealed are neither

final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.

We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. 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
