Attorneys
Derrick Jerome Truttling, Appellant Pro Se. Ashley Brooke Neese, Office of the United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.
Full Opinion (html_with_citations)
Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Derrick Jerome Truttling seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion to appoint counsel and for a status conference. 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Truttling seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appeal-able 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.
