PER CURIAM:

     Joseph Coppola seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order

denying his motion for entry of default on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241

(2012) petition.     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 Coppola 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
