Nathaniel Bruce Dunmore seeks to appeal the district courts order dismissing all but one of Dunmores claims in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, denying Dunmores motion to compel discovery, and denying as moot the defendants’ motion to stay discovery. Additionally, Dunmore seeks to appeal the district courts order staying further proceedings pending the resolution of this appeal. 1
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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The orders Dunmore seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. 2
We also deny Dunmores motion and amended motion for a temporary restraining order. 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
FOOTNOTES
1
. Dunmores informal brief also discusses his most recent request for an injunction made to the district court. More specifically, Dunmore asserts that he asked the district court to enjoin the defendants from raising the defense of qualified immunity. We observe that the district court has not ruled on any claim of qualified immunity in these proceedings. 2
. We further recognize that the district courts stay order will be terminated based on our resolution of this appeal.
