OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Thomas L. Kelly appeals from the magistrate judge's order denying his motion to have his deposition taken before a judge and jury. Appellees have filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We grant the motion and dismiss the appeal.
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 this Court has jurisdiction over appeals from final orders. A final order is one which disposes of all issues in dispute as to all parties. It "ends the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but execute the judgment." Catlin v. United States, 324 U.S. 229, 233 (1945).
The order appealed from is not a final order and is not appealable under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. See North Carolina Ass'n of Black Lawyers v. North Carolina Bd. of Law Examiners, 538 F.2d 547 (4th Cir.1976). The district court has not directed entry of final judgment as to particular claims or parties under Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b), nor is the order appealable under the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1292. Finally, the order is not appealable as a collateral order under Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).
Finding no basis for appellate jurisdiction, we grant the appellees' motion to dismiss the appeal and dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We also deny Kelly's motion for a stay of the district court proceedings. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED.
