Abebe v. South Carolina Department of Corrections
Abebe v. South Carolina Department of Corrections
Opinion
Unula Boo Shawn Abebe seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order incorporating his original complaint with his motion for leave to amend the complaint, treating both documents as the amended complaint. This court may exercise jurisdiction only *330 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The magistrate judge’s order is neither a final order nor an ap-pealable interlocutory or collateral order; Abebe should have directed to the district court any objections to the order. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (2006). 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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED.
Abebe asks us to disqualify the magistrate judge. We note that the magistrate judge whom Abebe seeks to disqualify is no longer assigned to the case.
