See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Jerry Lewis Adams seeks to appeal the district court’s
order ordering him to submit the required number of copies of his
complaint and denying his motion to amend. This court may exercise
jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and
certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292
(2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan
Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order Adams 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 deny Adams’ motion for joinder of separate claims
and his motion to file a supplemental informal brief. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
