Annotate this CaseAppeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. Glen E. Conrad, Magistrate Judge. (CA-92-856, CA-93-891, CA-93-933)
Ronald Jerry Sawyer, Appellant Pro Se. Mark Ralph Davis, Office of the Attorney General of Virginia, Richmond, VA; Colin James Steuart Thomas, III, Timberlake, Smith, Thomas & Moses, P.C., Staunton, VA; Leisa Kube Ciaffone, Gentry, Locke, Rakes & Moore, Roanoke, VA, for Appellees.
Before RUSSELL and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals a magistrate judge's order denying his motions for inspection, a subpoena, and to compel discovery. 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 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1988); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial 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.
We also deny Sawyer's motion for temporary restraining order, his motion for preliminary injunction, his motion for default judgment, and his motion for "relief of order."
