Hill v. Executive Office for United States Attorneys

Opinion

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Brian David Hill seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order denying his discovery-related motions and granting Defendants’ motion to quash discovery in his pending Freedom of Information Act 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Hill 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
