John Rodgers Burnley, Appellant Pro Se.


UNPUBLISHED

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior District Judge. (3:18-cv-00404-REP) Before DUNCAN, THACKER, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. John Rodgers Burnley, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

John Rodgers Burnley seeks to appeal the district court's order granting leave to proceed in forma pauperis in this civil action. 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 Burnley seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we 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
