Virginia, for Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Christopher Richards seeks to appeal the district
court’s order denying Richards’ motions for production of
documents and appointment of counsel in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
(2012) civil rights action. 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 Richards
seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable
interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the
appeal for lack of jurisdiction. 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
