USCA4 Appeal: 25-1256 Doc: 8 Filed: 05/28/2025 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Nelson L. Bruce seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s orders denying Bruce’s motion to compel discovery and his subsequent Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.

Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The orders Bruce seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. 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
