PER CURIAM:

             Randy L. Thomas seeks to appeal the district court’s

order reassigning his civil case to a new judge.                    This court may

exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291

(2006),    and    certain    interlocutory      and       collateral   orders,     28

U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial

Indus.    Loan    Corp.,    337   U.S.   541,   545-46      (1949).        The   order

Thomas    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 the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                                            DISMISSED

                                         3
