Dismissed by published opinion. Judge WILKINSON wrote the opinion, in which Judge RUSSELL and Judge HAMILTON joined.
OPINION
WILKINSON, Circuit Judge:
The question before us is whether this court has jurisdiction to review a district court decision compelling a company to submit to discovery where it is not a party to the underlying litigation. Because we find that this nonfinal discovery order does not fall under the collateral order exception of Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949), we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
