PER CURIAM:
Randy D. Golden seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion to
rescind its order granting Respondent a second extension to respond to Golden’s 28
U.S.C.§ 2254 petition, denying his motion to stay his state court proceedings, and granting
Respondent’s third motion for extension of time to respond to Golden’s § 2254 petition.
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, 545-46 (1949). Upon review, the order
Golden 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
