PER CURIAM:
Karl Linard Malloy appeals the district court’s order dismissing for lack of
jurisdiction his appeal from the bankruptcy court’s order modifying subpoenas duces tecum
and issuing a protective order. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order dismissing Malloy’s appeal as
interlocutory. Schelin v. Malloy, No. 3:25-cv-00104-MHL (E.D. Va. Feb. 13, 2025); see
In re Bestwall, LLC, 99 F.4th 679, 686 (4th Cir. 2024) (“As a general rule, discovery orders
aren’t final and appealable; they are part of resolving a larger dispute.”). 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.
AFFIRMED
