PER CURIAM:
Robert Frost appeals the district court’s order denying
several discovery motions. We dismiss the appeal for lack of
jurisdiction, because the order is not appealable. This court may
exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291(1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1292 (1994); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.
Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order here appealed is neither
a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
