PER CURIAM:

       Joseph Crussiah appeals the district court’s order denying his motions to amend

the complaint, to transfer to state court, for joinder, and for a preliminary injunction.

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 district

court’s denial of the motions to amend, to transfer, and for joinder are neither final orders

nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we dismiss Crussiah’s

appeal of those rulings for lack of jurisdiction.

       The denial of Crussiah’s motion for a preliminary injunction is an appealable

interlocutory order. See 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1) (2012); Dewhurst v. Century Aluminum

Co., 649 F.3d 287, 290-93 (4th Cir. 2011). In denying relief, the district court did not

make specific findings of fact, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 52(a)(2), nor did it mention the factors

set forth in Winter v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008).

Accordingly, we vacate the district court’s denial of preliminary injunctive relief and

remand so that those findings and factors may be addressed. We express no view on the

mertis of Crussiah’s motion.

       Finally, we deny Crussiah’s motions for declaratory relief, to exceed length

limitations, to file a flash drive, and for judicial notice. We deny as moot Crussiah’s

motion to expedite review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal




                                              3
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument

would not aid the decisional process.

                                                              DISMISSED IN PART,
                                                               VACATED IN PART,
                                                                 AND REMANDED
