PER CURIAM:

Die K. Blaise seeks to appeal the district court’s order 

dismissing part of his civil complaint with prejudice and 

dismissing the remainder without prejudice. Blaise has since 

filed an amended civil complaint raising the claims dismissed 

without prejudice, and that action remains pending with the 

district court. 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 Blaise 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
