*2 USCA4 Appeal: 25-6513 Doc: 22 Filed: 10/31/2025 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:

Derek Williams seeks to appeal the report filed by the magistrate judge recommending that the district court deny relief on Williams’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp. , 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Williams seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny Williams’s motion to add a declaration to his opposition to the summary judgment motion, and 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
