PER CURIAM:

Travis Bouldin seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order 

denying several motions in his pending 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012) 

matter. 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 Bouldin seeks to appeal is neither a final 

order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. 

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
