Benny W. McCroskey, Appellant Pro Se. Eugene Paul Murphy, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Benny W. McCroskey seeks to appeal the district

court’s order denying his motion to compel. This court may

exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1291

(2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1292

(2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b); Cohen v. Beneficial

Indus. Loan Corp.,

337 U.S. 541, 545-46

(1949). The order

McCroskey seeks to appeal is not 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
