Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Randolph Ashford seeks to appeal from the magistrate
judge’s order denying, in pertinent part, Ashford’s motions to
(1) extend discovery, (2) appoint counsel, (3) issue subpoenas,
and (4) schedule a physical and mental health evaluation. 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 Ashford seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See Reynaga v.
Cammisa, 971 F.2d 414, 416-18 (9th Cir. 1992). 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
