    USCA4 Appeal: 23-1956      Doc: 12          Filed: 12/21/2023     Pg: 2 of 2
    PER CURIAM:
    Michael Quist seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his complaint for
    failure to state a claim, denying his motion for sanctions under Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b), and
    denying his remaining motions as moot. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over
    final orders, 
    28 U.S.C. § 1291
    , and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 
    28 U.S.C. § 1292
    ; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 
    337 U.S. 541
    , 545-
    46 (1949). The order Quist seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable
    interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction
    and deny Quist’s motion to amend the record. 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
