No. 11-7150

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

DENNIS MICHAEL GALLIPEAU,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. Joseph F. Anderson, Jr., District Judge. (3:08-cr-00096-JFA-1; 3:10-cv-70313-JFA)

Submitted: November 8, 2011 Decided: November 15, 2011

Before WILKINSON, MOTZ, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Dennis Michael Gallipeau, Appellant Pro Se. Dean A. Eichelberger, Susan Zalkin Hitt, Assistant United States Attorneys, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Dennis Michael Gallipeau seeks to appeal the district

court’s order in a habeas proceeding denying his motion for a

protective order. 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 Gallipeau 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
