PER CURIAM:
Robert Louis Garrett, Jr., appeals the district court’s orders accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying his motions for a preliminary
injunction and a hearing on the preliminary injunction and denying his motion to alter or
amend, a subsequent order allowing Garrett to amend or supplement his complaint but
denying appointment of counsel, and the magistrate judge’s orders denying his motions to
compel and for appointment of counsel in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action. This court
may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain
interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen
v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,
337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The denial of Garrett’s
motion for a preliminary injunction is an appealable interlocutory order. 28 U.S.C.
§ 1292(a)(1). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the denial of the
preliminary injunction or motion to reconsider. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons
stated by the district court. Garrett v. Binkley, No. 0:18-cv-01416-CMC-PJG (D.S.C. Apr.
12, 2019; May 30, 2019). The orders allowing Garrett to amend or supplement his
complaint and denying his motions to compel and for counsel are neither final orders nor
appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we dismiss this portion of the
appeals for lack of jurisdiction.

DISMISSED IN PART
