Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, at Clarksburg. Irene M. Keeley, District Judge. (1:10-cv-00106-IMK-JSK)

Submitted: February 10, 2011 Decided: February 16, 2011

Before WILKINSON and DAVIS, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

John J. Bowman, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Alan McGonigal, Assistant United States Attorney, Wheeling, West Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

John J. Bowman, Jr., seeks to appeal the district

court’s order granting the Appellees an extension of time in

which to respond to Bowman’s complaint. This court may exercise

jurisdiction only over final orders,

(2006),

and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

(2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.

Loan Corp.,

(1949). The order Bowman seeks

to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable

interlocutory or collateral order. 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
