UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 19-7270 JAMES C. MCNEILL, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. MARQUHNE BENJAMIN JOHNSON, Correctional Officer; CEDRIC GRAHAM, Correctional Officer; JACKIE YANG, Registered Nurse; KARIEM LANE, Correctional Officer; KEVIN WHITE, Correctional Lieutenant; ALFRED WILLIAMS, Disciplinary Hearing Officer; SUSAN MORRISON, Correctional Officer, Defendants - Appellees, and JHON HERRING, Correctional Superintendent; WILLIAM HORNE, Correctional Housing Unit Manager, Defendants. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Frank D. Whitney, Chief District Judge. (3:18-cv-00188-FDW) Submitted: January 21, 2020 Decided: January 24, 2020 Before WILKINSON, KEENAN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. James C. McNeill, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: James C. McNeill seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his request for production of documents and his motions to compel discovery. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2018), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2018); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order McNeill seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. 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 3
