BARKLEY, Defendants. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Rock Hill. Cameron McGowan Currie, Senior District Judge. (0:18-cv-01309-CMC-PJG) Submitted: July 16, 2019 Decided: July 19, 2019 Before MOTZ, WYNN, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges. Affirmed in part and dismissed in part by unpublished per curiam opinion. Robert Louis Garrett, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Robert Garrett, Jr., appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendations of the magistrate judge and denying his motions for a preliminary injunction and default judgment in this action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012). 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 denial of Garrett’s motion for a preliminary injunction is an appealable interlocutory order. 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the denial of the preliminary injunction for the reasons stated by the district court. Garrett v. Richardson, No. 0:18-cv-01309-CMC-PJG (D.S.C. Apr. 11, 2019). The order denying Garrett’s motions for default judgment is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss this portion of the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We deny Garrett’s motion for stay and his request to consolidate this appeal with No. 19-6614. 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. AFFIRMED IN PART AND DISMISSED IN PART 3
