- 2 - PER CURIAM:

June Bryant-Bunch seeks to appeal the district court’s

denial of her motion for a temporary restraining order. 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 (1949). The order Bryant-Bunch seeks to

appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or

collateral order. See Office of Pers. Mgmt. v. American Fed'n of

Gov't Employees, 473 U.S. 1301, 1303-05 (1985); Drudge v. McKernon,

482 F.2d 1375, 1376 (4th Cir. 1973). 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 in the

decisional process.

DISMISSED
