PER CURIAM:

       Donald McDuffin Williams seeks to appeal the district court’s orders staying his

civil case pending resolution of his criminal case and returning documents. Appellees

have moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. 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 orders that Williams seeks to

appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. See

Moses H. Cone Mem’l Hosp. v. Mercury Constr. Corp., 460 U.S. 1, 10 n.11 (1983);

Porter v. Zook, 803 F.3d 694, 696 (4th Cir. 2015); Amdur v. Lizars, 372 F.2d 103, 105-06

(4th Cir. 1967). Accordingly, we grant Appellees’ motion to dismiss, deny Williams’

pending motions, and dismiss 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.



                                                                              DISMISSED
