Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Michael Montgomery appeals from the district court's orders denying his request for a preliminary injunction as well as various pretrial motions filed by Montgomery in connection with his request for relief in these consolidated actions pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (1988). This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory orders and collateral orders. 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292 (1988); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The orders here appealed are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders, except to the extent that they deny Montgomery's request for preliminary injunctive relief. We find, however, that the district court committed no reversible error by denying injunctive relief.
We therefore affirm the district court's denial of Montgomery's request for preliminary injunctive relief, and dismiss the remainder of these appeals as interlocutory. 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.
