UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 18-7318 ROBERT HOLLAND KOON, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. TIMOTHY CLARK; JORDAN WILLIAMS; S.C.D.C.; NURSE LYNCE, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Florence. David C. Norton, District Judge. (4:18-cv-01584-DCN-TER) Submitted: April 4, 2019 Decided: April 9, 2019 Before NIEMEYER and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Robert Holland Koon, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Robert Holland Koon seeks to appeal the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying Koon’s motions for temporary restraining orders. 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 order Koon seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See Office of Pers. Mgmt. v. Am. Fed’n of Gov’t Emps., 473 U.S. 1301, 1303-05 (1985); Drudge v. McKernon, 482 F.2d 1375, 1376 (4th Cir. 1973) (per curiam). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We deny Koon’s pending motion, which seeks to expedite the decision, to order the district court to place the case in abeyance, to order the district court to deliver the record to the Supreme Court, and to send him copies of filed documents. 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 2
