PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, William Scott Davis, II,
seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motions
to strike, motions for stay, and motions for extension of time
in a pending civil matter, and its order returning several of
his filed documents in a closed civil matter. This court may
exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291
(2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,
28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.
Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The
order denying Davis’ motions is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we
deny Davis’ motion for sanctions and dismiss Case No. 15-1595
for lack of jurisdiction.
Turning to Davis’ appeal of the district court’s order
returning his documents, we have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm Case No. 15-1602 for
the reasons stated by the district court. Davis v. Singer, No.
4:13-cv-00007-RBS-DEM (E.D. Va. May 7, 2015; June 2, 2015).
Davis’ motion for sanctions in connection with this appeal is
also denied. We dispense with oral argument because the facts
3
and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
No. 15-1595 DISMISSED;
No. 15-1602 AFFIRMED
