PER CURIAM:
Norman Alan Kerr seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order granting his motions
for leave to file a legal memorandum and for a docket sheet, denying as unnecessary his
motion for a docket sheet and transfer of records, and directing the Government to respond
to his motion challenging his sentence. 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, 545-47 (1949).
The order Kerr seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or
collateral order. Accordingly, we 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
