Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: In these consolidated appeals, William Scott Davis, Jr., seeks to appeal two orders of the district court issued in ongoing proceedings below. The orders in question ruled on a number of pending motions and deferred action on other motions. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The orders nor Davis seeks to appeal are neither final appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. orders Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction. We deny Davis motions to file documents under seal for failure to comply with 4th Circuit Rule 25(c). We also deny Davis motions to appoint counsel, motion for extension of time, motion for interlocutory order, motion for interlocutory appeal, motion to exceed the length limitations in his informal brief, motions for stay pending appeal, motion to expand a certificate of appealability, and all other pending motions. We also note that Davis excessive and lengthy electronic filings constitute an abuse of the court s electronic filing system operation. and impair the efficiency of the court s We advise Davis that further abuse of his electronic 3 filing status will result in limitations on his use and possible sanctions. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal before contentions this court are adequately and argument presented would not in aid the the materials decisional process. DISMISSED 4
