Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Robert Gartrell Bowling, Appellant Pro Se. William Jacob
Watkins, Jr., OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greenville,
South Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Robert Gartrell Bowling seeks to appeal the district
court’s order denying in part and granting in part his 28
U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2013) motion, as well as its order
denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion. This court may
exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291
(2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28
U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial
Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The orders
Bowling seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable
interlocutory or collateral orders. See United States v.
Hadden, 475 F.3d 652 (4th Cir. 2007). 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
