PER CURIAM:

Siddhanth Sharma seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying his motions to

add additional parties and to reopen discovery in his pending civil action. 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). The orders Sharma seeks to appeal are neither final

orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we grant Sharma’s

motion to amend, deny his motion for a stay, and dismiss these appeals 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
