Appeals from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. James C. Cacheris, Senior District Judge. (1:12-cv-00087-JCC-IDD) Before KING and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. No. 12-7797, dismissed in part, affirmed in part; No. 12-8079, dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Jesus Emmanuel Jehovah, Appellant Pro Se. Kate Elizabeth Dwyre, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, Jesus Emmanuel Jehovah seeks to appeal the district court's orders dismissing numerous claims in his complaint, denying preliminary injunctive relief, denying his motion for a change of venue, declining to file photographs under seal, and denying in part a motion to make corrections of an order pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 60(a). This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). Apart from the denial of preliminary injunctive relief, the orders Jehovah seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we dismiss No. 12-7797 in part, and No. 12-8079 in its entirety, for lack of jurisdiction. As for the denial of Jehovah's motion for a preliminary injunction, we have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm No. 12-7797 in part for the reasons stated by the district court. Jehovah v. Clarke, No. 1:12-cv-00087-JCC-IDD (E.D. Va. Oct. 16, 2012). See Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008) (standard).
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.
