Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
William Auston Cash seeks to appeal the magistrate
judge’s order denying his motions to compel discovery, to depose
each defendant, and to seal the record in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
(2006) civil rights action. This court may exercise
jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006),
and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.
Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order that Cash
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 deny Cash’s motion for the
appointment of counsel and for transcripts at government
expense. 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
