PER CURIAM:
James Henry Fowler-Bey seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying several
of his motions and placing his habeas petition in abeyance. 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 Fowler-Bey 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
