Muwakkil v. Huffman

Opinion

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

PER CURIAM.

Yaqub Hameed Muwakkil seeks to appeal the district court’s order permitting late filing of Defendants’ response to his discovery requests, granting Defendants’ motion for an extension of time to file an answer, denying MuwakMl’s motion for default judgment, granting Muwakkil’s motion for an extension of time to file a response, and denying Muwakkil’s motion to strike. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Muwakkil seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interloeu- *723 tory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We deny Muwakkü’s motions to compel and to stay the appeal. 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.
