PER CURIAM:
Nelson L. Bruce seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s orders denying Bruce’s
motion to compel discovery and his subsequent Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion. 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 orders Bruce seeks to appeal are neither
final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we dismiss the
appeal for lack of jurisdiction. 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
