PER CURIAM:

Paul A. Mitchell seeks to appeal the district court’s 

reassignment orders. 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 orders Mitchell seeks to appeal are

neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral 

orders. 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
