PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his
motion for a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary in-
junction. Appellant sought to prevent the implementation of a
prison regulation governing contraband.
To the extent that Appellant appeals the denial of a temporary
restraining order, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction
because the order is not appealable. This court may exercise juris-
diction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988), and cer-
tain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1988);
Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337
U.S. 541 (1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order
nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
To the extent that Appellant appeals the denial of injunctive
relief, we have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-
ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the
reasoning of the district court. Smith v. Angelone, No. CA-96-190-
AM (E.D. Va. Feb. 20, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED IN PART AND DISMISSED IN PART
