PER CURIAM:

Walter Lee seeks to appeal the district court’s order and 

the district court clerk’s letter stating the requirements for 

filing an action in forma pauperis. This court may exercise 

jurisdiction only over final orders of the district court, 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 and letter that Lee 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
