    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 97-2064
    BELL ATLANTIC-WASHINGTON, DC, INCORPORATED,
    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    SYED H. (NAYYAR) ZAIDI,
    Defendant - Appellant.
    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis-
    trict of Virginia, at Alexandria.    T. S. Ellis, III, District
    Judge. (CA-97-467-A)
    Submitted:   November 26, 1997         Decided:     December 15, 1997
    Before HALL, MURNAGHAN, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Syed H. Zaidi, Appellant Pro Se. Betty S. W. Graumlich, MCSWEENEY,
    BURTCH & CRUMP, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant appeals from two district court orders denying vari-
    ous motions. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because
    the orders are not appealable. This court may exercise jurisdiction
    only over final orders, see 
    28 U.S.C. § 1291
     (1994), and certain
    interlocutory and collateral orders. See 
    28 U.S.C. § 1292
     (1994);
    Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 
    337 U.S. 541
     (1949). The orders appealed here are neither final orders
    nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.
    We therefore dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We dispense
    with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-
    quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
    would not aid the decisional process.
    DISMISSED
