James Henry Fowler-Bey, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       James Henry Fowler-Bey seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying several

of his motions and placing his habeas petition in abeyance. 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 Fowler-Bey 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

                                            2
