PER CURIAM:

Theodore Justice seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s

order denying leave to proceed in forma pauperis.* 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 Justice seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an 

appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See 28 U.S.C. 

§ 636(b)(1) (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a). 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

 * We note that Justice filed objections to the magistrate 

judge’s determination that are pending in the district court.
