PER CURIAM: In these consolidated appeals, Karl Linard Malloy seeks to appeal the district court’s orders dismissing for lack of jurisdiction his appeals from two bankruptcy court orders approving two interim applications for attorney’s fees and costs. Bankruptcy court orders awarding interim fees and acknowledging that additional fees will likely accrue are not final orders over which the district court has jurisdiction. In re Comput. Learning Ctrs., Inc., 407 F.3d 656, 662 (4th Cir. 2005). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders dismissing as interlocutory Malloy’s appeals from the orders approving the interim fee applications. Schelin v. Malloy, No. 3:25-cv-00021-MHL (E.D. Va. June 9, 2025); Schelin v. Malloy, No. 3:25-cv-00416-MHL (E.D. Va. Aug. 8, 2025). 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.

AFFIRMED
