Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 23-1956 Doc: 12 Filed: 12/21/2023 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:

Michael Quist seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his complaint for

failure to state a claim, denying his motion for sanctions under Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b), and

denying his remaining motions as moot. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over

final orders,

, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

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

, 545-

46 (1949). The order Quist seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable

interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction

and deny Quist’s motion to amend the record. 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
