Battle, Officer, Co Ii; J. Davis,officer, Co Ii; Sewall Smith, Assistant Warden,defendants-appellees, 972 F.2d 340 (4th Cir. 1992)

Charles Jones appeals from the district court's order denying his motion to reconsider the magistrate judge's discovery order. 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 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. Jones's motions to appoint counsel, to consolidate this case with Case Nos. 92-6415 and 926023, and to place this appeal in abeyance are denied. 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
