Christopher Richards, Appellant Pro Se. James Milburn Isaacs, Jr., OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Christopher Richards seeks to appeal the district

court’s order denying Richards’ motions for production of

documents and appointment of counsel in his

42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2012) civil rights action. 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 Richards

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
