Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Anthony Leon Hoover seeks to appeal an unspecified
order allegedly entered on September 23, 2010. This court may
exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291
(2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28
U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial
Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order
Hoover seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order, and his notice of
appeal was premature as to the final order in his proceeding.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We
deny Hoover’s motions to compel, for a temporary restraining
order, and for a Federal Marshal. 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
