Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 24-6699 Doc: 6 Filed: 10/01/2024 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:

Randy D. Golden seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion to

rescind its order granting Respondent a second extension to respond to Golden’s 28

U.S.C.§ 2254 petition, denying his motion to stay his state court proceedings, and granting

Respondent’s third motion for extension of time to respond to Golden’s § 2254 petition.

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.,

(1949). Upon review, the order

Golden 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
