    Dennis Lee WILLIAMS, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Defendant—Appellee.
    No. 04-7270.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: Jan. 21, 2005.
    Decided: Feb. 17, 2005.
    
      Dennis Lee Williams, Appellant pro se.
    Arthur Bradley Parham, Office of the United States Attorney, Florence, South Carolina, for Appellee.
    Before KING and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).
   PER CURIAM:

Dennis Lee Williams seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying his emergency motion for a protective order and granting the Government additional time to respond to his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The orders Williams seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.

Accordingly, we 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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
