PER CURIAM:
Robbie Sherron seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motions to
amend, motion for a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) and a preliminary injunction,
motion to appoint counsel, and motions for discovery. 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 (1949). The denial of a motion for a preliminary injunction is immediately
appealable. After reviewing the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse
its discretion in denying the motion for a preliminary injunction. We therefore affirm this
portion of the district court’s order. However, the portion of the order denying Sherron’s
motions to amend, to appoint counsel, for discovery, and for a TRO is neither a final order
nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss this portion
of the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. 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.
AFFIRMED IN PART,
DISMISSED IN PART
