OPINION

George W. Gantt appeals the district court's denial of his motion for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction and "any response or any judgment entered by this court in the above captioned case in 1992 or 1993." Our review of the record reveals that, as of the filing date of Gantt's notice of appeal, no motion for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, order denying said motion, or judgment had been filed in this case. Hence, we dismiss this appeal as frivolous, for it lacks any arguable legal or factual issues. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1988). We also dismiss Gantt's appeal of the district court's "responses" for lack of jurisdiction because they are 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 "responses" here appealed are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.

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.
