2 USCA4 Appeal: 25-1622 Doc: 11 Filed: 11/24/2025 Pg: 3 of 3

PER CURIAM:

John Rodgers Burnley seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order directing

Burnley to respond to Defendants’ respective motions to enforce a settlement agreement.

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 order Burnley 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
