Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court’s denial of his motion
for a default judgment. We dismiss the appeal for lack of juris-
diction because the order is not appealable. This court may exer-
cise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988),
and certain 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.
We note that Appellant’s informal brief did not include a challenge
to the district court’s denial of his motion for injunctive relief,
which was contained in the same order denying Appellant’s motion
for a default judgment. Thus, this issue is waived. See 4th Cir.
R. 34(b). We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-
quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
