PER CURIAM:
Christopher Bernard Jones seeks to appeal the district
court’s orders denying his motion to reconsider the court’s order
requiring him to comply with the service requirements of Fed. R.
Civ. P. 5; denying his motion to amend the complaint; and granting
a defendant’s motion for an extension of time to answer Plaintiff’s
interrogatories and produce documents. This court may exercise
jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and
certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292(2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan
Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The orders Jones seeks to appeal are
neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral
orders. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for lack of
jurisdiction. We deny Jones’ motions to stay the district court
proceedings, for an injunction and restraining order, to waive the
requirement to file a certificate of service, and for emergency
relief for order of protection; and also deny Jones’ petition for
emergency relief. We dispense with oral argument because the facts
and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
