Ramachandran Varadarajan, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal an order dismissing without preju-
dice his complaint requesting a temporary restraining order. We
dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is
not appealable. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over
final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and certain interlocutory
and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1994); Fed. R. Civ. P.
54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).
The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable
interlocutory or collateral order. Drudge v. McKermon, 482 F.2d
1375, 1376 (4th Cir. 1973) (denial of request for temporary re-
straining order is not generally appealable).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. We deny Appellant's Motion
for Order. 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
