PER CURIAM:

      Joseph Pirela seeks to appeal the district court’s orders reassigning his case to a

certain district court judge and referring his motion to proceed in forma pauperis to a

magistrate judge. 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 orders Pirela 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

                                            3
