PER CURIAM:
Siddhanth Sharma seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying his motions to
add additional parties and to reopen discovery in his pending civil action. 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 Sharma seeks to appeal are neither final
orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we grant Sharma’s
motion to amend, deny his motion for a stay, and dismiss these appeals 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
