Travis Bouldin, Appellant Pro Se. Elizabeth Catherine Kiernan,
OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia,
for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Travis Bouldin seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order
denying several motions in his pending 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012)
matter. 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 Bouldin seeks to appeal is neither a final
order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
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
