PER CURIAM

LeAnthony T. Winston seeks to appeal the district court's orders denying his amended 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition and denying reconsideration. 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). "Ordinarily, a district court order is not final until it has resolved all claims as to all parties." Porter v. Zook, 803 F.3d 694, 696 (4th Cir. 2015) (internal quotation marks omitted).

Our review of the record reveals that the district court did not adjudicate all of the claims raised in the petition. Specifically, the court failed to address Winston's claims of prosecutorial misconduct, discrimination, violation of his speedy trial and due process rights, and ineffective assistance of counsel. We therefore conclude that the order Winston seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See Porter, 803 F.3d at 696-97 . Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, deny Winston's pending motions, and remand to the district court for consideration of the unresolved claims. Id. at 699.

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 AND REMANDED.
