Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Joseph Coppola seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order
denying his motion for entry of default on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241
(2012) petition. 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 Coppola 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
