PER CURIAM:
Miyuki Maureen Johnson seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s text order
denying her motion for default judgment. 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 Johnson 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
