PER CURIAM:

Rafael Romero seeks to appeal the district court’s decision 

to return his motion for miscellaneous relief without docketing 

it because the motion pertained to the filing fee in a case that 

was closed in 2013. 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). 

The decision Romero seeks to appeal is not an appealable 

judgment or order. Accordingly, we 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
