vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255.
Quezada filed a motion to compel discovery in the § 2255 proceeding. The
district court denied the motion, and Quezada now appeals. The
Government moves to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction and,
alternatively, moves for an extension of time to file a brief.
We have jurisdiction over final decisions and other decisions covered
by the collateral order doctrine. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291, 1292; Mohawk Indus.,
Inc. v. Carpenter, 558 U.S. 100, 103, 106, 116 (2009). In this case, no final
judgment has been entered and there are no immediately appealable orders.
Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. The motion to dismiss for
lack of jurisdiction is GRANTED. The alternative motion for an extension
of time to file a brief is DENIED AS UNNECESSARY. The appeal is
DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
