PER CURIAM:

Booker T. Vanderhorst seeks to appeal the district court’s 

order denying his motion to amend the record in his 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2255 (2012) proceeding. We dismiss the appeal for lack of 

jurisdiction because the order Vanderhorst seeks to appeal is 

neither final nor otherwise appealable. See Cohen v. Beneficial 

Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-47 (1949); Catlin v. United 

States, 324 U.S. 229, 233-34 (1945).

Accordingly, we deny Vanderhorst’s motion asking this court 

to amend the record and we dismiss the appeal. 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
