PER CURIAM:
Bruce Bennett, Sr., seeks to appeal the magistrate
judge’s order granting the Appellees’ motion to include a
bankruptcy court order in the record on appeal. 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 Bennett seeks to appeal
is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or
collateral order. Accordingly, we deny Bennett’s motion to proceed
on appeal 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
the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
