    PER CURIAM:
    In   these    consolidated       appeals,         William        Scott    Davis,   II,
    seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motions
    to strike, motions for stay, and motions for extension of time
    in a pending civil matter, and its order returning several of
    his filed documents in a closed civil matter.                           This court may
    exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 
    28 U.S.C. § 1291
    (2012),     and    certain      interlocutory              and    collateral        orders,
    
    28 U.S.C. § 1292
        (2012);      Fed.       R.    Civ.       P.   54(b);    Cohen   v.
    Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 
    337 U.S. 541
    , 545-46 (1949).                              The
    order denying Davis’ motions is neither a final order nor an
    appealable interlocutory or collateral order.                          Accordingly, we
    deny Davis’ motion for sanctions and dismiss Case No. 15-1595
    for lack of jurisdiction.
    Turning      to   Davis’   appeal      of       the    district     court’s     order
    returning his documents, we have reviewed the record and find no
    reversible error.        Accordingly, we affirm Case No. 15-1602 for
    the reasons stated by the district court.                        Davis v. Singer, No.
    4:13-cv-00007-RBS-DEM        (E.D.    Va.       May    7,    2015;     June    2,    2015).
    Davis’ motion for sanctions in connection with this appeal is
    also denied.       We dispense with oral argument because the facts
    3
    and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
    before   this   court   and   argument   would   not   aid   the   decisional
    process.
    No. 15-1595 DISMISSED;
    No. 15-1602 AFFIRMED
