Opinion

No. 10-7545.

Submitted: September 29, 2011.

Decided: October 4, 2011.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior District Judge (3:08-cv-00479-REP).

Before KING, GREGORY, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Gregory A. Richard, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


Gregory A. Richardson seeks to appeal the district court's order in his 28 U.S.A. § 2254 (2006) petition giving him fourteen days to comply with his prefiling injunction. 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 Richardson 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
