Before MOTZ, KEENAN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Randolph Ashford, Appellant Pro Se. Lydia L. Magee, RICHARDSON, PLOWDEN & ROBINSON, PA, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Eugene Matthews, C. Cliff Rollins, RICHARDSON, PLOWDEN & ROBINSON, PA, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Randolph Ashford seeks to appeal from the magistrate

judge’s order denying, in pertinent part, Ashford’s motions to

(1) extend discovery, (2) appoint counsel, (3) issue subpoenas,

and (4) schedule a physical and mental health evaluation. 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 Ashford seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an

appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See Reynaga v.

Cammisa,

971 F.2d 414, 416-18

(9th 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
