PER CURIAM:
Shawn L. Armstrong seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting additional
time to file a supplemental complaint. 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 order Armstrong seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor
an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in
forma pauperis and 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
