Jones v. Luthi

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Christopher Bernard Jones seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying his motion to reconsider the court’s order requiring him to comply with the service requirements of Fed.R.Civ.P. 5; denying his motion to amend the complaint; and granting a defendant’s motion for an extension of time to answer Plaintiffs interrogatories and produce documents. 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., 387 U.S. 541, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The orders Jones seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction. We deny Jones’ motions to stay the district court proceedings, for an injunction and restraining order, to waive the requirement to file a certificate of service, and for emergency relief for order of protection; and also deny Jones’ petition for emergency relief. 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.
