District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Robert Boyd Jones, Jr.,
Magistrate Judge. (5:15-cv-00046-F)
Submitted: May 19, 2015 Decided: May 21, 2015
Before NIEMEYER and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Theodore Justice, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Theodore Justice seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s
order denying leave to proceed in forma pauperis. * This court
may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,
28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.
Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The
order Justice seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1) (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a). Accordingly, we deny
leave to proceed 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 this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
*
We note that Justice filed objections to the magistrate
judge’s determination that are pending in the district court.
